LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. 



State Geological Survey, 

Univeesity of Illinois, Oct. 1^ 1908. 

Governor C. S. Dcncen, Chairman, and Members of the Geological Com- 
mission : 

Gentlemen — I submit herewith material for a report upon the min- 
eral content of Illinois waters, and recommend that it be published as 
Bulletin 10. This report has been prepared in cooperation with the 
State Water Survey under the direction of Dr. Edward Bartow, director 
of that organization and consulting chemist in charge of water investi- 
gations for the Geological Survey. Dr. Bartow has personally prepared 
a number of chapters in the report. The tables of analyses have been 
compiled under his direction from the records of the State Water Sur- 
vey. Dr. J. A. Udden of Augustana College aiid the State Geological 
Survey, has prepared a chapter on the geological classification of the 
waters of Illinois and Professor S. W. Parr, one on water for boilers and 
for other industrial uses. Dr. George Thomas Palmer, M. D., editor of 
the Chicago Clinic and Pure Water Journal, has pr-epared the chapter 
on the Medicinal Springs of Illinois. The Geological Survey is under 
great obligations to these gentlemen for their assistance, and particu- 
larly to Dr. Bartow for the cordial cooperation between the two surveys 
which he has made possible. This report will be published also by the 
State Water Surve}^, forming Bulletin 4 of the water survey series. 

The report as a whole is to be considered as essentially preliminary 
and is designed to place in the hands of the citizens of the State ac- 
curate analyses . of water from the different Geological horizons and 
Geographical districts. To aid in the use of these tables the brief special 
discussions already noted have been prepared. It is planned to follow 
this bulletin with special studies of the water resources of the particular 
areas so far as these resources are dependent upon geological conditions. 
One such report, the water resources of the East St. Louis district,^ a 
brief preliminary statement regarding the water resources of the Spring- 
field area,^ and a paper on the artesian wells in Peoria and vicinity^ 
have already been published. A general report upon the underground 
structure of the State as related to artesian and other waters is planned, 
and Dr. J. A. Udden is accumulating material for it.

Tn the meantime the services of the two Surveys have been frequently 
calJod into requisition by cities, towns, railways and manufacturers de- 
siring to secure better or larger water supplies. In a number of in- 
stances it has been possible to make positive recommendations which have 
been followed with good results. In other cases our present data have 
proven too incomplete to permit of a certain answer 'to the questions 
raised. It is proposed to continue the work with a view to giving pro- 
gxessively better service as the records become more complete. It is be- 
lieved that there are few, if any, more important lines of inquiry de- 
luanding attention. Questions of water supply are so important, not 
only as relates to the industrial activity of an area but also to the health of 
the people and even the very existence of a community, that they Avarrant 
much more exhaustive studies than are possible with the Resources now 
available. It is to be hoped that more money may be made available for 
this work. Very respectfully, 

H. FosTEn Bain^

THE MINERAL CONTENT OF ILLINOIS WATERS 



INTRODUCTION 

[By Edward Baetow.] 



Historical Statement. . 

The State Water Survey of Illinois began the investigation of the 
waters of the State in 1895. While the Survey has laid special stress 
on the determination of. the character of the waters from a sanitary stand- 
pointy it has also often been called upon to make analyses of the mineral 
content to determine its character from a medicinal or commercial 
standpoint. In the various reports so far issued by the Survey only re- 
sults of the sanitary investigations were published. It had been the in- 
tention to publish the results of the mineral analyses in a previous re- 
port^ but this had to be postponed until the present time when^ in co- 
operation with the G-eological Survey^ it has become possible. This 
Bulletin, primarily, contains the records of the analyses made to de- 
termine the composition of the mineral residue with reference to the 
value of the water for manufacturing and medicinal uses, but there are 
also included the sanitary analyses, wherever such analyses have been 
made. 

Owing to lack of funds the Survey has not been able to do systematic 
collecting. The samples examined have been sent by parties who desired 
to know something of either the commercial or medicinal value of some 
special water. Though many times, when requested to make only the 
sanitary examination of a water, that could be considered as typical of a 
section of the State or of a geological stratum, the Survey has also made 
an examination of the mineral content. Since the foundation of the Sur- 
vey in 1895 to December 31, 1905, though it has not been possible to col- 
lect samples systematically, 547 analyses have been made to determine the 
composition of the mineral residue. These waters have come from 269 
cities and towns distributed over 90 counties, leaving only 12 counties 
from which no specimens have been analyzed. 

The samples sent to the Survey have usually been sent with a request 
for information regarding the potabilit}^, medicinal value, the suitability 
for use in boilers, or the suitability for manufacturing purposes. In all 

1 "Chemical Survey of the Waters of Illinois," pp. 3 and 6. 



Z MINERAL CONTENT OF WATERS. [bull. no. 10 

cases a report has been made to the party sending the water, and when 
desired an opinion has been given with respect to its suitability for the 
special purpose designated by the sender. As a rule, when an opinion 
regarding the medicinal effect has been desired, the Snrv^ey has sug- 
gested that the report of the analysis be referred to a competent ph3'sician 
for an opinion. The special opinions concerning each water are not given 
in this report, but there are given briefly general interpretations of re- 
sults from a sanitar}', medicinal, and industrial standpoint. 

The anal3^ses have been arranged in alphabetical order according to 
the cities and towns. This arrangement will enable those wishing to 
know the composition of the mineral matters contained in waters from 
a certain city or town, to easily obtain the information desired, or to 
learn whether an analysis of the water in question has been made by the 
State Water Survey. We have also included in the report a county list, 
showing the number and location of the waters analyzed in each county, 
in order to facilitate the comparison of the waters of a given section. 
Again, we have arranged tables of distribution, showing the source of 
each sample; whether from river, spring, shallow well, or deep well in 
rock or in drift. This will facilitate comparison of waters of similar 
origin, or from similar geological horizons. 

The methods of analysis published in this Bulletin have been used 
throughout the greater part of the existence of the Water Survey. While 
modifications have been made from time to time, in general, the method^ 
given have been followed. Many of the methods are those recommended 
by the American Public Health Association. When such is not the case 
it is our purpose as soon as possible to adopt their recommendations, es- 
pecially with reference to sanitar}^ work. 

The analyses were made under the direction of the late Professor 
A. W. Palmer, until his death in February, 1904. Professor S. W. Parr 
was director from February, 1901, to September, 1905, when the present 
director took charge of the work. The analyses have been made by mem- 
bers of the Water Survey staff and the initials accompanying each 
analysis indicate the analyst. The following men have done this analyt- 
ical work for the Survey: 

Perry Barker, Arthur Donaldson Emmett, Arthur Russell Johnston, David 
Klein, Justa Morris Lindgren, Albert LeRoy Marsh, Arthur William Palmer, 
Carleton Raymond Rose, Robert "Watt Stark. 

Mr. C. V. Miller has made many of the sanitary examinations. 
Distribution of Waters Analyzed. 

GEOCtRAPPIICAL. 

The various samples of water which have been sent to the Water Sur- 
vey since its foundation, aggregating a total number of 13,873 to De- 
cember 31, 1905, have come from 590 towns in 100 counties. Since prac- 
tically all of these waters have been sent to the laboratory by citizens 
or city officials such a distribution shows the widespread demand for 
the work. The samples, which have been analyzed to detennine the 
composition of the mineral residue, aggregating a total number of 547, 
have been sent from 269 towns in 90 counties. This distribution seems

SOURCE OF SAMPLES. 



remarkable since it has been possible for the State Water Survey to 
influence the points of collection only in a very small degree. The only 
counties from which no samples have been received for analysis of the 
mineral content are Carroll^ Clay, Crawford, Cumberland, Edwards, 
Franklin, Grund}^, Hamilton, Hardin, Massac, Monroe and Moultrie. 

The following table shows the distribution of mineral analyses by 
counties and towns, and will serve as a guide for the comparison of the 
quality of water in certain sections of the country.

ACCORDING TO SOURCE. 

The water supplies of Illinois are derived from three general sources : 

1. Surface waters, including rivers, lakes and ponds. 

2. Waters from shallow wells and springs. 

3. Waters from deep wells. 

In order to facilitate the compariscai of w^aters from similar sources 
we have inserted tables classifying each water according to the character 
of its source :

The n-umber of samples of water of each division analyzed, does not 
represent in an}^ way the relative amount of each class of water nsed in 
the State. Surface waters serve by far the greatest number of people, 
including as they do, Lake Michigan and the Mississippi river. In 
fact the majority of the cities containing more than 10,000 inhabitants, 
obtain their water supply, as a whole, or in part, from streams. Deep 
rock wells serve the next greatest number, followed by the deep drift 
wells.

GEOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION OF THE WATERS OF 

ILLINOIS. 

[By J. A. Udden.] 



Source of the Ground 'Water. 

Primarily the source of all the waters of the State is the rainfall in 
the Mississippi valley. For the northern part of the State this is equal 
to a layer nearly thirty-four inches in thickness^ for the rniddle part 
of the State it is a little more than thirty-six and a half inches, and for 
the southern part of the State it is almost forty-one inches, averaging 
annually for the entire State, during the time it has been observed, 36.59 
inches. A large part of this water is lost by evaporation, especially dur- 
ing the warmer months. Some twenty per cent of the total rainfall is 
drained away by the streams. The remainder enters the ground and 
slowly sinks, either to reappear. on the surface as springs at other places. 
or to slowly seep under its own pressure in the direction of least resist- 
ance. The run off in the basin of the Illinois river is estimated at eight 
inches for the year. It can hardly be less than this for other parts of the 
State. 

Recent Lowering of the Head of the Ground Water. 

It is clear that great changes in the run-off have taken place since 
the first settling of this country more than fifty years ago. The drainage 
is at the present time more perfect, and hence much more prompt, than 
it was at the time when the original vegetation still covered the native 
prairies. This vegetation retained the water of the heavy showers dur- 
ing summer. At the present time such showers more frequently than 
before cause the gullies and creeks to overrun their banks. The best 
evidence of this gTeater run-off at the present day is to be seen in the 
recent deepening of many channels of the smaller streams, and in the 
universal appearance of gullies on upland slopes, which were originally 
■even and smooth. The same chanp-e is also to be noted in the disap- 
pearance of shallow surface ponds, which in the days of the early settle- 
ments seldom failed to form on the level uplands during the months of 
greatest rainfall in the spring and early summer. Another cause for this 
change is the construction of drained wagon roads and drainag-e ditches 
made for the reclamation of lowlands. Whether the loss of water by 
evaporation has been increased or diminislied bv this same change in- 
cident to the immigration of the present inhabitants, it is difficult to 



UDDEN.] WATEE-BEARING FORMATIONS. 9 

say. On the one hand the cover afforded the ground by the native vege- 
tation would apnear to have retarded evaporation, but on the other hand 
this protection may have been counter-balanced by a still greater in- 
crease of evaporation from a luxurious foliage. On the whole, evapor- 
ation is probably PTeater now than before, and this increase is very likely 
greater in the southern part of the State than in the northern. 

With an undoubted augmentation of the run-off and with a probable 
increase in the amount of water evaporated, the general lowering of 
the level of the ground water is easily accounted for. A sinking of thi's 
level is everywhere conspicuous. The first settlers on the prairies in- 
variably found a sufficient quantity of water in shallow surface wells. 
Springs were everywhere more common than at the present day. With 
the lowering of the level of the ground water many, of these springs 
have run dry. The shallow wells have mostly either been deepened or 
they have become useless, and at the present time the average depth 
of the country wells will exceed that of the wells of the early days by 
at least twenty feet. 

The Water-Bearing Formations. 

The water which enters the ground and seeps in the direction of least 
resistance enters the successive formations and sinks to unknown depths. 
Through the more pervious strata the percolation is most rapid. Even 
the most compact rocks allow some seeping, although it goes on at an ex- 
ceedingly slow rate. In clays and shales the seeping proceeds so slowly 
that a sufficient quantity of water can never be obtained from these 
strata. Sandstone and some limestone allows the water a- more free 
passage, and such strata furnish the waters in all of our deep wells. 
These rocks constitute our true water-bearing formations. 

The Potsdam Sandstone. 

The lowest formation furnishing water in this State is the Potsdam 
sandstone. This is a formation to the Cambrian age, and it underlies 
all the other sedimentary rocks of the State. The Potsdam sandstone 
does not come to the surface anvwhere in this State, but it outcrops in 
the central part of Wisconsin, where it forms a crescent shaped area be- 
ginning on the Menominee river on the east, extending southward to 
Madison and Prairie Du Chien and from there northwest to the region 
of the St. Croix river. The average elevation of the land in this area of 
outcrop, is about 1,000 feet above the sea level, or a little more than 200 
feet above the averao-e elevation of the northern part of the State of 
Illinois. We may consider this region as the intake area of the Potsdam 
sandstone, for it is evident that the water yielded by the formation 
further south enters it in this territory and follows it under the ground 
in its course southward and downward. In the state of Wisconsin the 
Cambrian formation has a thickness of 1.000 feet, and it probably main- 
tains this under the greater part of Illinois. The materials of which it 
is composed consist of sandstone and sandy shale, frequently of reddish

color^ and there are also some strata of calcareous rocks. In the well 
made at Lockport, the following^ section of strata belonp-ino- to this 
horizon has been observed^ beginning at a depth of about 1,250 feet.

In the western part of the State this formation has been entered by 
some wells in Rock Island and at Aledo. In the Eock Island well, the 
Potsdam section was penetrated only to the depth of some 370 feet, and 
the section is given as follows :

The formation was entered at a depth of about ID-tO feet. 

From these figures it is clear that this formation dips to the south 
at the rate of about ten or twelve feet to the mile. In the southern half 
of the State it is practically out of reach, except for a small area in 
Calhoun and Jersey counties where, by an abrupt fold, it is brought 
nearer to the surface, and for a tract extending in a northwest-southeast 
direction through La Salle and Livingston counties where another fold 
elevates all the formations lying on the east side. 

The head of the Potsdam water is higher than that of any other ar- 
tesian flow in the region. Drillers usually figure that it will flow forty 
feet higher than the water from the St. Peter sandstone. But the head 



TJDDEN.] WATEE-BEARING FORMATIONS. 11 

is not every where the same. It varies as much as 100 feet for different 
parts of the State. Even in limited areas slight variations are noted. 
Thus in the eastern part of the State, it rises to an elevation of 595 feet 
above the sea in the Consumers' Ice Company Well in Chicago, while in 
the Oak Park waterworks, it rises to 610 feet, and in the Eiverside 
waterworks its. head is reported as 596 feet. In the western part of 
the State, the head approaches a level of 650 feet at Geneseo, while in 
Catlin's well at Ottawa it rises to ?05 feet. The elevation of the head 
at Minooka is 660 feet. It is believed that the head of this water in 
the wells of the western part of the State would reach a level of 700 
feet, if the wells were properly cased, so as to prevent the Potsdam water 
from entering the overlying formations. The formation being deep as 
well as extensive, and having a large area of exposure to the north, its 
water contents far exceeds the capacity of the wells so far sunk into it. 
The Avater is somewhat salty, but is pure enough for use in the north- 
ern part of the State. In the deeper wells the quantity of salt increases. 
For this reason some of the wells entering the formation do not extend 
very far into it. In one instance the deepening of a well 100 feet ren- 
dered the water undesirable on account of its increased saltiness. In this 
case the well was saved by shutting off the flow from the lower part, the 
3deld from the unner part of the formation being sufficient for the pur- 
pose desired. It would thus appear that the saltiness increases with 
the depth in one and the same stratum, and this has been explained as 
being due to the specific gravity of the material dissolved. 

The Lower Magnesiai^ Limestone. 

The Lower Magnesian limestone is the next higher horizon which has 
been found to yield water. Though this formation is known as a lime- 
stone, it is in some places to a considerable extent made up of sandy 
strata. It varies in thickness from about 400 feet in the eastern part of 
the State to 800 feet along the Mississippi river. The main area of out- 
crop of this formation is likewise in the state of Wisconsin, but it also 
has a small exposure on the Illinois river east of La Salle. In the 
eastern part of the State it is apparently replaced by considerable 
amounts of shaly material, with w^hich are associated some sand and some 
calcareous layers, but in western wells it consists largely of limestone 
and sandstone and the latter yields considerable amounts of water. This 
difference in the composition of the formation is well illustrated by the 
following two sections :

The water supplied by this limestone is as a rule more free from im- 
purities than that of other deep waters in the State. It supplies a great 
number of the wells in the city of Ottawa and in the surrounding coun- 
try. West of La Salle this formation lies at the depth of about 1800 
feet^ but it gradually rises toward the Mississippi. It contains no single 
well marked horizon of water, but the supply is irregularly distributed 
through its thickness in sandy strata. In the western part of the State 
where the formation consists mainly of lime, the flow is not very marked, 
and no wells have been made which rely upon its flow, except in the 
city of Princeton. The flow is nowhere very strong, and the quantity 
is more limited than that of either the Potsdam or the St. Peters sand- 
stones. 

TiiE St. Peters Sandstone. 

Owing to the moderate depth at which it can be reached, the St. 
Peters sandstone has been more often tapped by deep wells than any 
other rock in the State. This formation is not as thick as the water- 
bearing strata which have just been described, but its development is 
uniform, and geographically it is very extensive, underlying wide areas 
in Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri. It is 
a very pure sandstone, consisting of well rounded quartz grains, mod- 
erately coarse. For the most part it is destitute of any cement material 
between the grains, and this renders its texture open and gives it a 
great capacity for holding water, which is freely yielded when the rock 
is tapped. It overlies the Lower MagTiesian limestone from which it is 
often separated by several feet of varicolored clays. In thickness it 
varies from 100 to more than 200 feet, as may be seen in the following 
records of wells made along the line across the State from Kock Island 
to Chicago.

Survey.) 



14 MINERAL CONTENT OF WATEES. [bull. no. 10 

In the western part of tlie State, the St. Peters sandstone some times 
includes a shaly stratum near its middle portion, and in most places 
the formation is overlain by a dark clay which occasionally is slightly 
oily. 

The principal intake area of this formation is in southern Wisconsin, 
in the southeast part of Minnesota, and in some limited localities in 
this State. It comes to the surface in the south central part of La Salle 
county in the Illinois river valley and in the valley of Eock river in Ogle 
county. Another small outcrop has been found on the Mississippi river 
in Calhoun county. At all of these points it has been elevated by the 
folding already spoken of as effecting the Lower Magnesian and the Pots- 
dam formations. Elsewhere it is covered by later sediments, but its 
position and the depths at which it may be found bv drilling are fairly 
well known from explorations which have been made in the northern 
two-thirds of the State. 

In his report^ on the water resources in Illinois, Mr. Frank Leverett, 
presents a map in which the position of the St. Peters sandstone is indi- 
cated for the entire State. According to this map it lies mainly above 
the level of the sea in a triangular area extending from the northern 
boundary of the State and converging to a point near the center of Liv- 
ingston county. Over this tract it is hence within a distance of about 
800 feet below the surface of the ground, rising toward the north and 
northwest and sinking in the opposite direction. In the two or three 
tiers of counties which lie nearest the Mississippi river from Clinton, la., 
to Quincy, and in the country between the Illinois and the Mississippi 
south of. this latter place, it lies mainly within 500 feet below the level 
of the sea, dipping to the southeast. It is hence encountered at depths 
of from 1200 to 1100 feet. In about the same position it is also found 
under a belt of land some fifty miles wide, extending from Highland 
Park past Chicago and Kankakee to Urbana, and in the proximity of 
the Mississippi and the Ohio rivers along the southern boundary of 
the State. Under the remaining large tract in the south and the south 
central part of the State the St. Peters sandstone probably lies more than 
500 feet below the sea. Its actual position is less accurately known 
for this region. 

The quality of the St. Peters water is good. In some wells it has been 
found to be somewhat sulphurous, probably from the presence of iron 
sulphides in the overlying shale, but it is usually not salty, except at 
some points in the southern part of the State. The supply is quite 
copious, but it has been noticed that in some places where many wells 
draw water from this source, its head has been slightly lowered. 

The head of the water in the St. Peters sandstone approaches, on the 
Eock Island and Chicago section, 600 feet above sea level. But it varies 
considerably, and rises somewhat with an increasing elevation of the 
land, as may be seen from the following table :

At De Kalb the head of this water is considerablv above that in the 
wells enumerated in the foregoing table^ and it ranges from 772 to 844 
feet above the sea. At Elgin the St. Peter water ri-ses to 740 feet. 

The TRENTOisr-GALENA Formation. 

Many wells have been made which draw their water from some part 
of the 400 feet of limestone overlying the St. Peters sandstone. Usually 
this water is found in a horizon at about 250 feet above the St. Peters 
sandstone^ but in many instances it has been reached as much as one 
hundred feet higher up than this, and sometimes it is found considerably 
deeper than the middle of the formation. This water is not confined 
to any regular stratum but evidently follows joints and cavernous pas- 
sages in the rock. The lower one hundred feet of the formation, which 
is Visually spoken of as the Trenton limestone in a restricted sense, is a 
calcareous, thinly bedded, and somewhat cla^^ey limestone, and it is not 
as open in texture as the upper part of the formation. This is nowhere 
known to have yielded any water. The water bearing rock, which is 
limited to the upper three hundred feet, is a magnesian limestone of 
more porous texture. Its flow is frequently as strong as that of the 
St. Peters water, and its head seems to be about the same. But this 
water is often found to be highly charged with hydrogen sulphide, and 
this circumstance sometimes renders it disagreeable to the taste and 
limits its use as a potable water.

As this water-bearing horizon lies above the St. Peters rock it is not 
always necessary to go down to the latter formation in order to secure 
a good well. This is especially tru.e for the western part of the State, 



16 MINERAL CONTENT OF WATERS. [bull. no. 10 

where it has been enco-antered at depths varying from five hundred to a 
thousand feet. As these two formations are conformable^ the dip for 
both is the same^ the npper rock following the lower in the folds and 
dips which have already?- been described. 

The Niagara Limestone. 

The Trenton-G-alena limestone is overlain by the Cincinnati shale, 
which forms an impervious cover, confining the water below it. There 
are some sandy layers in this shale, but it is nowhere known to have 
furnished any water. It appears to be everywhere barren in this respect. 
It is in turn capped by the JSTiagara limestone, which is about 400 feet 
in thickness in the northern part of the State, and somewhat less than 
this farther south. The upper two hundred feet of this limestone is of 
a porous and open texture and frequently furnishes abundant water. 
It is exposed to the surface and underlies the drift in a crescentic belt 
on the east side of the Mississippi river from Jo Daviess county to the 
rapids above Eock Island. It also underlies the drift over a ,more ex- 
tended belt in the northeast corner of the State, covering the greater 
part of McHenry county, all of Lake county, and extends along the 
Avest border of Lake Michigan as far as Kankakee river. Three small 
areas occur in the western part of Union and Alexander counties, in 
all of these localities wells measuring from fifty to two hundred feet are 
sunk into this limestone. The formation is probably continuous under 
most of that part of the State which is south of Green river, and it can 
be reached at depths varying from two hundred to one thousand feet, 
but it is not believed that many of the deep wells made in his region are 
supplied from this formation. At Carthage a water bed is reported at 
750 feet, which probably belongs in the Niagara, and at Fort Madison, 
Iowa it is reported at from 610 to 687 feet. At Hamilton, Hancock 
county, Illinois, it is reported at 653 feet. At Peru, Illinois in the Zinc 
Company well, it .was found'at the depth of 750 feet and furnished some 
water. The quality of the water from this horizon appears to be some- 
what variable and is often too salty for general use. As the area of out- 
crop of this limestone occurs in regions which are nO' higher than the 
general level of the State, the head of this water is low and it flows only 
when tapped in the lowest valleys. But the yield is abundant and a great 
number of pumped wells take their supplv from this formation where it 
is the country rock and lies at a small depth under the drift. 

Tpie Devonian Strata. 

The Devonian rocks have a limited extent in this State, not fully 
known. They underlie at least a part of the rocks of the Carboniferous 
age and outcrop at the surface over an area which perhaps does not 
exceed 300 square miles in Eock Island, .Calhoun, Union, and Alexander 
counties. The Devonian is unimportant as a water bearing formation, 
but it is believed to be the source of a flow which was encountered at a 
depth of 350 feet in a well at Beardstown. 



udden.] watee-bearing formations. 17 

The Mississippian or Lower Carboniferous Rocks. 

The Mississippian or Lower Carboniferous rocks overlie the Devonian 
beds in the southern two-thirds of the State. They consist mostly of 
limestone with sandy strata and the latter are the chief source of water 
in this formation. But, these water bearing strata have few places of 
outcrop at the surface and hence their intake area is very limited. Two 
wells at Eedbud and one well at Sparta are reported to draw their supply 
from this source^ but this rock must otherwise be regarded as of com- 
paratively little importance so far as it has been explored for water. 

The Coal Measures. 

The fact that the southern two-thirds of the State are underlain by the 
Coal Measures is a most significant circumstance relative to the quality 
and quantity of our water supply. These deposits consist largely of shale 
with alternating limestones and sandstones and with seams of coal. 
The impervious shaly material probably makes up four-fifths of the 
entire formation^ and for this reason much of the country underlain by 
the Coal Measures is unprofitable to the -nrospector for water. The lime- 
stones are mostly quite compact and impervious so as not to readily 
yield to the solvent action of the percolating water. Eeliance must be 
placed on the sandstones only. But these are frequently associated 
with carbonaceous materials which are apt to contain impregnations of 
various mineral salts, such as sulphides of iron and of magnesia, in con- 
siderable abundance. In this way we find that whatever water can be 
secured from the sandstones of the Coal Measures cannot always be used 
for the purposes desired. The sandy strata are most frequently 
present in the lower two hundred feet of the formation. On the 
west side of the State these come to the surface in a belt which 
extends from Eock Island county to Union county, approaching the 
Mississippi to a varying distance of from ten to sixty miles. To the 
north and the east the border of the formation runs through Henry, 
Bureau, La Salle, Livingston, Ford, and Iroquois counties. The surface 
of the land within these belts has a lesser average elevation than the land 
over the greater part of the region which the formation covers. From 
this circumstance it will be clear that the conditions necessary for pro- 
ducing a flow from the included sandstones must be very exceptional. 
Such flowing wells are confined exclusively to the lowest valleys in the 
region. The well in the C. E. I. & P. depot at Bureau Junction is of 
this kind. Its waters contain a large amount of sulphate of magnesia, 
and this mineral is perceptible to the taste. 

The Pleistocene Formations. 

Except in the five counties of the southernmost part of the State and in 
JoDaviess county at the northwest, the drift is everywhere present, over- 
lying the older rocks which we have already described. It has an aver- 
age thickness of fifty feet but measures more than a hundred feet over 

—2 G 



18 MINERAL CONTENT OF WATEES. [bull. no. 10 

an area of about one-third of the State. Most of the thick drift lies 
to the northwest of' the center of the State. In parts of Bureau county 
it measures 400 feet. By far the greater number of wells draw their 
supply from the drift^ and from an economic point" of view the drift 
is by far the most important of all our water bearing formations. 

For practical purposes we may consider the drift as consisting of 
three different parts: 1. Boulder clay. 2. Alluvial drift. 3. Loess. 
It is desirable to here present a brief description of the occurrence of 
water in each of these three kinds of drift. 

Boulder Ctay. — The boulder clay is quite generally known as ^^lue 
clay." Some well makers call it "hard pan/^ and others refer to it as 
'^stony clay" or "pebbly clay." It consists of a compact mass of fine 
clay, with which are mixed grains of sand, pebbles, and larger frag- 
ments of rock. The latter are called boulders, and they give the clay its 
geological name. It is the least sorted of all formations, and 
we find in its mass the finest clay packed close together in the 
interstices among the coarser mat^ials. It is hence very impervious 
to water, and no good wells can be made in the boulder clay if this does 
not contain any sandy strata. In regions where the boulder clay is 
heavy and where no sandy layers can be reached underneath, it is neces- 
sary to make the wells deep and wide in order to secure even a moder- 
ately large quantity of water from seepage. Sometimes open w^ells are 
made and set with brick, and from the bottoms of these wells tunnels 
are extended laterally into' the clay, twenty to thirty feet in length, and 
these are also set with brick. By this tunneling a larger seepage sur- 
face is secured. In other localities where the boulders are not too 
frequent and where the boulder clay is somewhat less compact, wells are 
made by large augers, two feet in diameter, and afterward set with 
large tile. 

But quite often the boulder clay contains strata of sand. In some 
localities these may be very extensive and are then usually the main re- 
liance for a good water supply. Even when such layers are no more 
than one or two feet thick, they may furnish a large quantity of water. 
They vary in coarseness from very fine sand to graved, and they may 
run their course in the boulder clay from a few rods to several miles. 
Many of them, no doubt, draw their supply of water from the boulder 
clay by seepage, while in other localities the more extensive strata ap- 
parently come up to the surface and are at least partly filled more directly 
by the rainfall. When water is abundant from such sandy strata wells 
are frequently bored and then cased with iron tubing or with tile. 

As compared with other sediments the drift is exceedingly variable 
in its nature and texture. The sandy strata may be absent or present. 
In short distances they may change from coarse to fine material and as 
rapidly thin out or fail altosrether, and they may rise or sink in the 
formation to which they belong. As a consequence, we find that the 
drift is a rather unreliable source of water. Because a successful well 
has been made at one point it can never with certainty be predicted that 
an equally good well can be made within a short distance from the sue- 



UDDEN.] MINEEAL CONTENT OF WATERS. 19 

cessful well. The sunDly is apt to vary greatly in short distances. As a 
rule drift wells will not overflow. The height to which the water rises 
in a seepage well is' presumably the level of the ground water. But in 
places where water is drawn from an extensive gravel or from some 
sandy stratum under the clay, it sometimes happens that flowing wells 
can be made. This is due to the existence of the usual artesian condi- 
tions. The water bearing sands have an intake area at a point where 
the level of the ground water lies higher than the curb of the flowing 
well. In every case such instances of artesian wells of the drift lie in 
regions where the topography of the drift has a considerable range of 
altitude. The artesian basins of this kind are always of a much more 
limited extent than similar basins in the older and. more deep lying 
"rocks. 

The principal Imown occurrences of artesian drift wells in Illinois are 
as below : 

1. In the valley of a tributary to Bureau creek about six miles southeast of 
Princeton, in Bureau county. 

2. A small tract in the southwest corner of DeKalb county. 

3. In the valley of the Kishwaukee river northwest of Sycamore, DeKalb 
county. 

4. A small area a little south of the center of Lake county. 

5. Two small areas in the west arm of Cook county, some eight or ten 
miles east of Elgin. 

6. A tract in the center of Kendall county along the valley of a tributary 
to Fox river at Yorkville. 

7. In the valley of the Big Vermilion in the southeast corner of Champaign 
county and in the northwestern part of Vermilion county. 

9. A' large area in Iroquois county, covering fully one-half of this county, 
lying mostly in the center but with arms extending into Indiana on the east, 
Kankakee county on the north, and Ford county on the west. . 

The quality of the water from the boulder clay varies with the nature 
of the drift. Generally it is hard water, containing considerable quanti- 
ties of carbonates of lime, magnesia and iron. 

Alluvium. — The alluvium denosits consist of gravels, sands and silt, 
which fill the bottoms that have been made by the present drainage of 
the country. These sands and gravels are always stratified and of a 
clean and open texture. The associated silts are somewhat more com- 
pact but invariably contain sandy layers at greater or less depth. The 
water held in the alluvial deposits may be regarded as being a part of 
the water of the streams. It often has the same head as the water in 
the open channel. Farthest out on the sides of the valleys it may be 
slightly higher. Almost everywhere on the so-called first and second 
bottoms of the larger streams, water can be obtained at no great depth 
from the sands of this drift. The supply is invariably abundant except- 
ing in the smaller streams where it may run low in dry seasons. Tlie 
most common way to reach the water on such lands is to make "driven 
wells.^' Their construction is cheap as well as easy. A screened point 
is attached to an iron pine and this is driven down to a denth of from 
twenty to sixty feet, where the sand is reached. A pump is then at- 
tached to the upper end of this tube. The well maker must of course 
see to it that the valve of the pump is sufficiently far down to draw the 



20 MINERAL CONTENT OF WATERS. [bull. no. 10 

water from the head below. Where the water does not rise within twenty- 
five feet of the surface it is then necessar}" to widen the well above, so 
as to allow the lowering of the suction valve to the requisite depth. 

While the supply of water furnished by the river drift is usually as 
pure as the water of the boulder clay it is in some localities quite heavily 
charged with salts of iron. Some alluvial waters have a strongly chaly- 
beate taste. When left to stand in open troughs the water from many 
of these wells becomes turbid from the oxidation of these salts. In other 
localities the water may have an oily taste, due to the presence of an- 
cient vegetation. Owing to the ready flow of the ground water in these 
loose sands it is quite liable to be contaminated from surface seepage. 

Loess. — In the southern and the western part of the State the up- 
lands are everywhere covered by a deposit called ^loess.*' This is some- 
what like silt in texture, but it is much more open and porous than 
the common water silts. To well men it is usually known as ^S'ellow 
clay" or, as in the southern part of the State, "white clay." It varies 
from five to forty feet in thickness and probably averages on most up- 
lands where it occurs about twenty feet. Where the level of the upland 
is fairly fiat, the loess is so porous as to permit the total rainfall to be 
absorbed and for some time stored. This is especially true of the region 
north and west of the Kaskaskia river. In the southern part of the 
State it is somewhat less porous and she^s more of the rainfall. The 
water which is thus absorbed slowlv sinks, until it reaches the boulder 
clay under the loess. This is much less open in its texture and thus the 
water is held on its surface in the lower part of the loess. 
Before the original vegetation was destroyed seep springs could 
ever\'where be found at the level of the junction of these two form- 
ations in the western part of the State. Even at the present 
time many such springs i>3main and the difference in the nature of the 
two formations is evident. During the rainy season many streams 
which come down from the upland loess and cut into the underlying 
boulder clay, show a greater quantity of water after they have reached 
the lower formation. 

The water stored in the lower part of the loess was usually sufficient 
for the needs of the wells of the first settlers, and it was seldom neces- 
sar}' to go below this level in the loess region for a permanent water 
supply. Even now the supply may hold out on some of the flat uplands 
in the counties covered by this deposit. But probably more than half 
of all the wells which once relied upon this formation have gone dry, 
owing to the general lowering' of the level of the ground water attendant 
upon the chano-es due to the coming of agriculture. The original sur- 
face of the boulder clay under the loess was not an even plain but must 
have had a somewhat diversified relief of its own, not always the same 
as that of the land today. Where the underground drainage following 
the upper surface of this old relief is favorable for the accumulation of 
water, these wells may be expected to remain permanent, but in situ- 
ations where this drainage is less hemmed in, the wells have already in 
many cases become dr}\ 



UDDEX.] WATER-BEARING FORMATIONS. 21 

The lower part of the loess^ in which the water occurs, frequently has 
a dark or blue color. Well makers sometimes call this dark base of the 
loess "sea mud/^ "Xoah's p-arden/' or ^'grandmother's o-arden." These 
names have been suggested by the fact that the w^ater bearing stratum 
contains various remains of plants, such as logs, roots, branches and 
leaves of trees and other plants. Occasionally there is even an odor of 
decaying vegetation and there may be an oib' scum on the water, which 
may also ^ hold considerable quantities of minerals in solution. This 
water is most often obtained by makino- open wells sunk down into the 
top of the boulder clay. Such wells may stand for many years without 
falling in, even when not protected by curbing. This stability of the 
loess is due to absence of horizontal stratification and to the fact that 
all the joints which are found in this deposit, extend in a vertical direc- 
tion. 

Springs. 

Geologically considered, springs may be referred to one or the other 
of two groups: 1. Springs issuing from the drift, and 2. Springs 
issuing from the bed rock. The drift springs are the most numerous. 
A great number of small springs issue from the base of the loess, as has 
already been explained. Other sprinsrs issue from sandy and gravelly 
strata, which lie in the boulder clay or beneath it. Some of these deeper 
springs of the drift are of considerable size and some of them are asso- 
ciated with Artesian conditions, the water coming from strata which may 
lie in part at greater depths than the mouth of the spring and in part 
above this level. These springs usually maintain during the year a very 
steady temperature of about forty-nine or fifty degrees Fahrenheit. 
Chemically the water of the drift springs is variable, owing to the great 
local differences in the nature of the drift. 

Springs which issue from bed rock are mostly of shallow origin, as 
the strata lie practically in a horizontal position over the entire strata. 
They represent the outfiow of water which has entered the drift and 
lias sunk into the superficial layers of the bed rock, and which is follow- 
ing bedding planes and joints that lie above the valleys and drain into 
ihem. For this reason we find most of these springs in the southern 
part of the State, where the drift is thinnest and the valleys deepest 
and most numerous. They are also common in the limestone region in 
the driftless area in the northwest comer of the State. Springs with a 
deep underground source are believed to be few. In the absence of 
data on thek temperature, indicating a deep origin, we may conclude 
that such springs must be confined to those limited tracts that exhibit 
violent folding of the bed rock. It has already been stated that such 
folded structure of the formations occurs in La Salle, Calhoun, Jersey, 
Union and Alexander counties.

CLASSIFICATION OF WATERS ACCORDING TO PHYSICAL 
AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES. 

[By Edward Bartow.] 



General. 

When it is possible to determine the temperature^ waters are some- 
times classified accordingly as thermal or non-thermal. Dr. A. C. 
Peale^ has suggested that springs having a temperature above 70° F., 
should be classified as thermal, those from 70° to 98° ¥., be called tepid 
or warm, and all above 98° ¥., should be called hot. This seems to us 
a very satisfactory method, but we are unable to thus classify the Illi- 
nois waters as no such data concerning them has been obtained. 

Numerous authors have suggested various methods of classifying 
waters according to the chemical composition of the salts or gases which 
they contain. Some classification is certainly desirable. It is, how- 
ever, difficult to find a classification which will answer the requirements 
of all interested "parties. We have deemed it best in this work, to 
assign the waters to no special class, but to report the ions and the 
hypothetical combinations, so arranged, that any person who desires to 
compare similar waters, may easily do so. We submit an outline de- 
scribing some of the most important classifications for reference.^

These classifications are faulty in that the various divisions are not 
sufficiently distinctive, and many waters could be placed in two or 
more classes. 

The scheme of Dr. Albert C. Peale'' overcomes this difficulty as no 
waters can fall into more than one of his main classes. Dr. Peale makes 
no provision for the difference in" concentration of the various waters. 
Waters of the same relative composition but varying greatly in con- 
centration are not distinguished.

Schedule of Classification. 

Class I. Muriatic Waters. 

Waters containing, as their main constituents, sodium chloride 
or common salt.

ide, magnesium chloride, calcium sulphate (magnesium sul- 
phate absent). 

b. Second Group. 

Waters containing besides sodium chloride, also magnesium 
chloride, calcium sulphate (calcium chloride absent). 

c. Third Group. 

Waters containing besides sodium chloride, also magnesium sul- 
phate, calcium sulphate (calcium and magnesium chloride ab- 
sent). 
Class II. Alkaline Waters. 

Waters containing sodium carbonate or magnesium carbonate. 

a. First Group. 

Waters containing sodium carbonate with or without magnesium 
carbonate. 

b. Second Group. 

Waters containing magnesium carbonate only. 
Class III. Sulphatic Waters.

uent.

26 MINERAL CONTENT OF WATERS. [bull. no. 10 

c. Third Group. 

(Semi-Chalybeate Waters). Waters containing ferrous carbon- 
ate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium sulphate, calcium sul- 
- phate. (This latter, as explained previously, involves the ex- 
istence of ferrous sulphate). 
Class V, Sulphur Waters. 

This class might naturally be divided into three groups; waters 
containing sulphides only; waters containing sulphides and 
sulphydrates; and waters containing free sulphydric acid, sul- 
phides and other thio-compounds. 

CONCLUSIONS. 

Of these classifications^ the schemes of Peale or of Haywood seem the 
best. It is a question^ howeverj whether it is not better to consider the 
amount of the constitutents reported in the analysis^ rather than to try 
to indicate the kind of content by a class name. For example^ two waters 
containing respectively, 250 and 2,000 parts per million of mineral 
matter of the same relative composition, if classified, would fall in the 
same division. The class name would not give the reader an adequate 
idea of the relative properties of the waters. Both might be classified 
as, ''carbonated, sodic, calcic^ miiriated, allcaline-saline." The former 
would be a very satisfactory water. The latter would be a water too 
hard for household uses, and would contain so much salt that it would 
be evident to the taste. 

Another illustration of the difficulty of a classification according to 
the kind of content, is met with when we consider the purposes far 
which an analysis of the mineral content is made. The physician wishes 
to know the therapeutic or physiological action, for example, to know 
whether a water contains sulphates of sodium or magnesium. These 
two - salts have a similar therapeutic effect and the classification "sul- 
phatic,^^ which would include waters containing either or both salts, 
would give the information desired. 

Such a classification does not suit the engineer or the chemist in 
charge of water softening. They must know the relative amount of the 
two salts, for the sodium sulphate would have little effect on a boiler, 
while the magnesium sulphate would be instrumental in forming a hard 
scale. 

Our scheme of reporting "ions" and "hypothetical combinations," is 
helpful to all parties. The physician or the mineral water therapist 
can note the predominance of ions, the engineer can see how the acid and 
basic ions balance each other, and the manufacturer can by inspection, 
tell whether substances harmful to his business are present, whatever 
the need for the water, whether in the manufacture of starch, paints, 
dyes, or dairy products, etc. 

The division into hypothetical combinations is of especial use to the 
engineer. As the ions are set off against each other, an excess of nitrate 
and chlorine ions over the sodium ions, indicates corrosive properties in 
the water. When the nitrate, chlorine and sulphate ions exceed the 
sodium, a tendency to form a hard scale is indicated, as the sulphate is 
left to combine with the magnesium or calcium. 



BARTOW.] CLASSIFICATION OF WATEES. 27 

The character of treatment required^, can also be determined from the 
hypothetical combinations; for example^ when the nitrate, chlorine and 
sulphate ions exceed the sodium ions, magnesium sulphate will appear 
in the hypothetical combinations, and enough sodium hydroxide or car- 
bonate must be added to react with it. When the sodium ions are in 
excess, it is shown by the appearance of sodium carbonate in the hypo- 
thetical combinations and, of course, no sodiujn carbonate or hydroxide 
are needed. The appearance of either mag-nesium sulphate or sodium 
carbonate in the hypothetical coinbinations, divides the waters of the 
State in two groups, that seem to us so important, that we have prepared 
two maps to illustrate their relative distribution throughout the State. 
The sodium carbonate waters are seen on Plate 2, and the magnesium 
sulphate waters on Plate 3. 

In the chapter on Medicinal Springs of Illinois, Dr. Palmer has classi- 
fied the springs mentioned, according to Peale^s method. This is the 
only chapter in which a classification according to any of the outlines 
given, has been attemped.

METHODS AND INTERPRETATIONS. 

[By Edward Bartow.] 



Methods of Analysis, 
sanitary. 

As soon as the samples are received at the laboratory the cloth which 
covers the stopper is removed, the stopper and neck of the bottle is 
cleaned, the. contents are thoroughly shaken in order to mix them com- 
pletely and a little water is poured out in order to rinse -off the neck and 
lip. The amounts required for the various determinations are then 
measured out. 

Determinations of those constitutents which are most susceptible to 
change are started. 

The sanitary determinations made are as follows: 

Turhidity and Sediment. — ^The determinations of turbidity and sedi- 
ment described in this report have been made by inspection. The terms 
'^slight/^ "distinct," "decided," "much," and "very much" are used 
to indicate the degree of turbidity. The terms "very little," "little," 
"considerable," "much" and "very much," are used to roughly indi- 
cate the quantity of sediment. The methods recommended by the 
American Public Health Association,^ have been recently adopted in this 
laboratory. By this method, turbidity is reported on the so-called silica 
scale. The numbers represent the equivalents of parts per million of 
finely divided silica in suspension. Artificial standards for comparison 
are used for turbidities below 100 and the electric turbidimeter for more 
turbid waters. 

Color. — The color has been determined according to the Nessler 
scale. That is, the color has been compared to the tint developed in the 
Nessler standards. The figures correspond to the color foripied in 50 
c. c. of water by definite quantities of nitrogen as ammonia. 

Odor. — After shaking the sample thoroughly the stopper is quickly 
removed and the odor noted. In the more recent samples we have used 
the method of reporting recommended by the American Public Health 
Association.^

5 


Very strong-. .. 


An odor of such intensity that the water would be absolutely unfit to

Total Solids. — ^The total solids were determined by evaporating to 
dryness in a platinum dish upon a water bath a suitable quantity of the 
water (from 100 cubic centimeters to 1 liter.) The dish and contents 
are then placed in an air bath and kept at 180 degrees centigrade for 
one hour or until the weight is essentially constant. 

Loss on Ignition} — For the determination of "Loss on ignition" the 
device employed by the Massachusetts State Board of Health has been 
used. A platinum dish, which is somewhat larger than the one in which 
the total solids are contained, is heated to redness by a Bunsen flame, and 
the dish with the residue on evaporation is placed inside. The 
properly moderated temperature here attained is sufiicient to bring the 
organic substances in the dish to a state of incandescence so that they 
are quite readily consumed. Usually, however, especially where very 
much organic matter is present, small particles of carbon are left in the 
residue and the contents of the dish remain dark in color. The temper- 
ature attained in this operation is sufficient to completely remove water 
from sulphates and to decompose the nitrates of calcium and mag- 
nesium. Thus even by this method the loss in weight resulting from the 
process cannot be looked upon as in any degree a definite or even an 
approximate measure of the quantity of organic matter present. The 
importance of the determination is largely limited to the general in- 
dications, i. e., the inferences which may be drawn from a blackening 
of the residue, the development of marked odors, or the evolution of 
colored fumes. 

Chlorine. — In determining chlorine the ordinary process of titration 
"with standard silver nitrate solution has been used. The standard solu- 
tion is of such strength that one-tenth of a cubic centimeter represents 



1 This test was discontinued in October, 1903. 



32 MINEKAL CONTENT OF WATERS. [bull. no. 10 

one part of chlorine in a million parts of water^ when fifty cubic centi- 
meters of the water are taken for the determination. Many of the 
waters with which we have had to deal contain so little chlorine that it 
was necessary to concentrate them. In such cases, whatever the quantity 
taken, the volume has been brought tO' fifty cubic centimeters for the 
determination.^ Usually when more than 5 c. c. of the standard solu- 
tion was required, less than 50 c. c. of the water was diluted to 50 c. c. 
with distilled water, or the chlorine was determined gravimetrically in a 
weighed portion of water. The indicator used is a potassium chromate 
solution, of which ona cubic centimeter of five per cent strength is 
added to the liquid to be tested. The end point is in all cases determined 
by comparison with a blank test. 

Oxygen Consumed. — One hundred cubic centimeters of the water are 
measured into an Erlenmeyer flask of two hundred and fifty cubic cen- 
timeters capacity. From two to five cubic centimeters according to the 
character of the water of pure concentrated sulphuric acid are added, 
followed by ten cubic centimeters of standard potassium permanganate 
solution. After mixing thoroughly the flask is placed in a shallow bath 
of boiling water, and heated continuously for thirty minutes. By this 
method the temperature within the flask is raised almost to that of the 
water in the bath itself which is kept boiling briskly. In this way any 
considerable concentration by evaporation of the water in the flask, as 
also "bumping," which frequently results in the loss of the sample, is 
entirely avoided. At the end of thirty minutes digestion, the flask is 
removed, and exactly ten cubic centimeters of the standard ammonium 
oxalate solution is added. When the solution has become perfectly 
colorless, the excess of oxalic acid solution which has just been added, 
is determined by titration to a faint pink with the standard potassium 
permanganate. As the ammonium oxalate solution and thQ perman- 
ganate solution are of equivalent strength, only the permanganate used 
in the titration is considered. The strength of the reagent is such that 
one cubic centimeter of potassium permanganate solution is equivalent 
to one part per million of oxygen consumed by the water when one hun- 
dred cubic centimeters of the water sample have been taken for the de- 
termination. 

In some cases it happens that the ten cubic centimeters of potassium 
permanganate solution is all consumed in the oxidation of organic mat- 
ters contained in the water. Another test is then made, in which, instead 
of ten cubic centimeters, twenty or more are employed, the procedure 
otherwise being the same as above. 

Free and Albuminoid Ammonia. — ^In the determination of free or 
saline ammonia, round bottomed flasks of eight to nine hundred cubic 
centimeters capacity have been used. These are supported upon an as- 
bestos ring and heated by direct application of the Bunsen flame. The 
flasks are connected to the condensers by means of pure gum stoppers and 
a modified form of Eeidmair & Stutsen^s safety bulb, as designed by Hop- 



1 Sometimes in highly colored or muddy waters it has been found necessary to 
clarify with aluminum hydrate and filter before the titration was made.

kins. The condensers consist of almninium^ tubes of three-eighths of 
an internal diameter^ with a cooling surface 20 inches in length. The 
tubes pass through a galvanized iron tank through which a constant cur- 
rent of cold water is kept flowing. 

The apparatus is thoroup"h1v steamed out, until free from ammonia, 
before each determination. Five hundred cubic centimeters of the water 
are used for the distillation. Witli waters containing little free am- 
monia, the collection of the distillate is made in four Nessler tubes of 
fifty cubic centimeters capacity in each of which the ammonia is deter- 
mined by nesslerization. The boiling is conducted at such a rate that 
each tube is filled in from eight to ten minutes. In some of the river 
waters and in manv of the deep well waters which have been examined 
there are very considerable quantities of free or saline ammonia. In such 
cases, the distillate is caught in flasks of two hundred cubic centimeters 
capacity. After diluting to the mark and thoroughly mixing, the 
amount of ammonia in an aliquot portion is determined by nessleriza- 
tion. 

Albuminoid Ammonia. — ^The residue after distillation of the free 
ammonia is used for the determination of the albuminoid ammonia. 
Fifty cubic centimeters of alkaline permanganate solution are added 
and the distillation proceeded with, at the same rate as for free am- 
monia. The alkaline permanganate solution is made by adding eight 
grams of potassium permanganate and 200 grams of sodium hydroxide 
to 1,300 cubic centimeters of water and concentrating to one liter. 

The collection' of the distillate is ordinarily made in Nessler tubes, 
but in some few cases, where much nitrogenous organic matter is 
present, the distillates have been caught in flasks as described above in 
the determination of free ammonia. 

Nesslerization. — A standard ammonium chloride solution is made of 
such strength that one cubic centimeter shall contain ammonium chloride 
corresponding to one one-hundredth of a milligram of nitrogen. Stand- 
ards for comparison in nesslerization are made from the standard am- 
monium chloride solution of the following strengths, i. e., the quanti- 
ties of standard ammonium chloride solution diluted to 50 c. c. with 
water are: 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6„ 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 
3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 cubic centimeters. 

Nessler tubes of colorless glass, of fifty cubic centimeters capacity and 
7% inches long to the mark are used. 

In conducting the nesslerization, care is taken that the distillates and 
standards are all of the same temperature before adding the Nessler re- 
agent. Commonly, distillates obtained in the afternoon are allowed to 
stand in a cool place until the next morning, before proceeding with 
the nesslerization. Twenty minutes are allowed for the development of 
the full color after the addition of the reagent, and the readings are 
taken within an hour. 

A camera is used in making comparisons. It consists of a black wooden 
box which cuts out all side lights and which is capable of holding twenty- 
seven tubes at one time. The tubes are illuminated from the bottom 



1 In the earlier tests block tin tubes were used. Aluminium has been found to 
be very satisfactory.

twy means of a mirror reflecting the light from the north, and the read- 
ing is made by means of another mirror placed above the tubes and so 
arranged as to bring the image direct to the eye of the observer. This 
apparatus has been in use in the laboratories of the University of Illi- 
nois for years, and has always given satisfactory results. In determin- 
ing the color fifty cubic centimeters of water are placed in standard 
Nessler tubes and compared with the standard. 

The results of the determinations of all nitrogenous constituents of 
waters are stated in parts per million of nitrogen. 

Nitrogen as Nitrites. — The fiftv cubic centimeters of w^ater used in the 
determination of color may be used for this test. One cubic centimeter 
of an acid solution of naphthylamine hydrochloride (8 grams of naph- 
thylamine, 8 cubic centimeters of strong hydrochloric acid, and 992 
cubic centimeters of water) and one cubic centimeter of a saturated 
solution of sulphanilic acid, in water containing five per cent of strong 
hydrochloric acid are added to the water in a Nessler tube. At the same 
time standards are prepared by diluting in other Nessler tubes loiown 
quantities of a standard solution of sodium nitrite to fifty cubic centi- 
meters and adding naphthylamine hydrochloride and sulphanilic acid in 
the same manner as the water to be examined. 

The standard solution of sodium nitrite is prepared from pure silver 
nitrite by reaction with sodium chloride, and contains in one cubic cen- 
timeter the equivalent of .0005 milligrams of nitrogen. Usually stand- 
ards are made containing 0.3, 0.6, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5, cubic centi- 
meters of the standard solution. 

Comparisons are made in not less than thirty minutes nor more than 
one hour after adding the reagent. Waters which are very turbid or 
deeply colored are clarified and decolorized by treatment with aluminium 
hydroxide before testing for nitrites. 

Nitrogen as Nitraies. — ^Determination of nitrates is begun as soon as 
possible after the water is received. A modification of the aluminium 
reduction method is used. One hundred cubic centimeters of the water 
are treated with two cubic centimeters of a thirty-three per cent nitrogen 
free sodium hydroxide solution. The mixture is boiled rapidly until 
reduced to a volume of 15 or 20 cubic centimeters, to remove the free 
ammonia. The concentrated mixture is rinsed into a test tube of about 
80 c. c. capacity and is diluted to about fifty cubic centimeters by the 
addition of nitrogen free water. A piece of sheet aluminum four inches 
long and one-quarter inch wide and weighing .5 grams is then introduced 
and the tube allowed to stand over night in a comparatively cool place. 
The reduction of the nitrates to ammonia is ordinarily completed in the 
morning when the examinations are continued. The solution with the 
strip of aluminium is rinsed into an 800 cubic centimeter KJeldahl 
flask with 250 cubic centimeters of nitrogen free water. Two hundred 
cubic centimeters are distilled into a crraduated flask and the fi'ee am- 
monia, produced by the reduction of nitrites and nitrates, is determined 
by nesslerizing an aliquot part of the distillate according to the method 
described under free and albuminoid ammonia. In calculating the 
nitrogen as nitrates, the nitrogen as nitrites is substractcd from the total 
amount of nitrogen indicated by the Nessler test.

Determinations. — In determining the mineral content in the Y>'aters of 
Illinois in the laborator^^ of the State Water Snrvev, the following de- 
terminations hare been made in all waters analyzed. 

iPottassium K 

Sodium Na 

Magnesium Mg 

Calcium Ca 

2Aluminium ALO, 

Iron Fe 

2Silicia or Silicious Matter SiOo or 810,+ 

3Nitric Acid NO3 

Hydrochloric Acid CI 

Sulphuric Acid SO4 

In a few cases the following determinations have been included : 

Lithium Li 

Phosphoric Acid PO4 

Manganese Mn 

The methods in nse have been changed somewhat during the ten 
years covered by this report, bnt in general the methods employed are 
as follows: 

Measure accurately two portions of the water to be examined using 
such amounts as will give a residue of from 400 to 600 milligrams. The 
necessary amount of water is determined from the ^'^residue on evapora- 
tion/^ if made, or by comparing the water to be examined with analyses 
of water of- similar origin. It is not usual to use more than a liter, 
even though the residue should be less than 400 milligrams. Acidify 
both parts with hydrochloric acid and evaporate to dryness in platinum 
dishes on the water bath. 

Heat the residues in an air bath at 180 degrees for one hour, or until 
the mass is completely dry and brittle. Moisten throughout with a little 
concentrated hydrochloric acid. Add 30 to 40 cubic centimeters of pure 
distilled water; digest on the water bath for a minute, filter off the 
silicious matter on an ashless filter paper and wash completely. 

Silicious Matter. — Ignite one portion onlv and w^eigh as silicious mat- 
ter. 

Silica. — Treat the silicious matter with hydrofluoric acid and deter- 
mine the silica (SiO^) by the loss of weight. jSTote — Calcium sulphate 
is frequently found in waters of the State and because it dissolves slowly 
it is necessary to be especially careful that none of it remains with the 
silica. If any is left it will be found after volatilizing the silica by 
means of hydrofiuoric acid. It must then be dissolved in hydrochloric 
acid and added to the solution from which it, together with the silica, 
has been removed. It is possible that a little sulphate of barium or 
strontium may be found at this point. These would resist the solvent 

1 When sodium and potassium are not separated tlie combination is considered 
as sodium and calculations made accordingly. ^ 

2 In some cases no separation has been made of iron and alumina, and these 
elements are reported as the sum of their oxides. 

3 In most cases the silicious matter has been treated with hydrofluoric acid and 
the silica reported is the loss by such treatment.

action of the water and li3Tlrocliloric acid and might thus be separated 
from calcium sulphate. Use one filtrate from the silicions matter for 
the determination of iron, alnminimn, (phosphoric acid), (barium), 
calcium and magnesium, and the other for sul23huric acid and the alka- 
lies.* 

Iron, Aluminium and PhospJioric Acid. — To one filtrate from the silica 
add a little bromine water and boil for 10 or 15 minutes to insure com- 
plete oxidation of the iron present. Add 25 cubic centimeters of ammon- 
ium chloride solution, (or neutralize with ammonium hydroxide, and 
acidify with concentrated hydrochloric acid), then add a distinct but 
not great excess of ammonium hydroxide. Boil vigorously for 5 minutes, 
allow to settle, filter and wash thoroughly with hot water. Ignite and 
weigh as oxides of iron and aluminium and phosphates, (Fe^O^ -{- Al^O* 
+ M^sPO*). Ordinarily the phosphoric acid is present in minute quan- 
tities and may be neglected. ' 

Iron. — Fuse the weighed residue with 8 times its weight of potassium 
acid sulphate (KHSO^^ See Fres. I, page 660). Dissolve in water 
and dilute sulphuric acid. x\fter reduction with sulpheretted hydrogen 
Fres. I, page 326), or by use of Jones' Eeductor, determine iron volu- 
metrically by potassium permanganate. 

Aluminium. — ^Calculate to Ferric Oxide (FCiOs) the iron found. Add 
the weight of the ferric oxide to the weight of the phosphate found and 
subtract the sum from the weight of the combined oxides of iron and 
aluminium and phosphates. The difference will be the weight of alu- 
minium oxide (AI2O3). 

Barium. — If barium is present it may be determined at this point 
in the usual manner by the addition of a few drops of sulphuric acid 
after acidifying the solution with hydrochloric acid. (Determinations 
of barium have not been made in these investigations) . 

Calcium. — Concentrate the filtrates and washings' from the precipitated 
hydroxides of aluminium and iron to about 200 c. c. ]\Iake alkaline with 
ammonium hydroxide and add to the hot solution an excess of ammon- 
ium oxalate (See Fres. I, page 270.) Boil until the precipitate settles 
and the supernatant liquid is clear. Filter, ignite the washed precipitate 
of calcium oxalate in the Hempel furnace or in the blast lamp and weigh 
as calcium oxide. Calculate to calcium. \ 

Magnesium. — Concentrate the filtrate and washings from the precipi- 
tated calcium oxalate to about 250 c. c. See that ammonium hydroxide 
is in slight excess. Add to the cool solution an excess of sodium ammon- 
ium hydrogen phosphate (XaXIl4lIP04) stirring the solution, taking 
care to avoid touching the sides of the beaker with the stirring rod. 
Allow to stand 12 hours in a cool place, filter, wash with a solution of 
one part ammonium hydroxide, specific gravity 0.96. Dr}-, ignite and 
weigh as magnesium pATophosphate (Mg2P->0T). , 

Manganese. — Should manganese be present it would be found as man- 
ganese pyrophosphate (MusPsOt) with the magnesium pyrophosphate 
(]\Ig2P:;0T). In the earlier analyses, manganese was determined accord-

ing to Fresenius I, jd. 294 by adding sodium acetate and an aqueous solu- 
tion of bromine, exposing to a temperature of 50 to 70 degrees for a 
few hours, till the free bromine is all or nearly all expelled from the 
solution and filtering. The manganese thus precipitated as hydrated di- 
oxide is liable to contain sodium salts. It should be washed carefully 
with hot water and may be converted by ignition directly into MnsO* 
and weighed. If the quantity is considerable, it is dissolved in hydro- 
chloric acid and converted into some other suitable form for weighing. 

Sulphuric Acid and the AVko^ies. — Heat the other filtrate from the 
silicious matter to boiling and add an excess of a solution of barium 
chloride, a drop at a time, with constant stirring. Allow to remain in 
-a warm place for at least thirty minutes, stirring at intervals. Filter, 
ignite, and weigh as barium sulphate, (BaS04). Compare Fresenius, 
I, p. 434. 

Sodium and Potassium. — ^Evaporate the filtrate from the barium sul- 
j)hate to dryness, add water, heat to boiling and treat the boiling solu- 
tion with slight excess of alkali free barium hydroxide, Ba(0H)2. Fil- 
ter and add to the filtrate ammonium carbonate and ammonia. Filter 
cff the precipitate so obtained, evaporate the filtrate to dryness in a 
platinum dish and ignite to drive off the ammonium salts. Eepeat the 
operation as often as necessary to remove any magnesium that may re- 
main, and after igniting weigh the alkali chlorides. 

Potassium. — ^T'o separate the potassium chloride from the sodium 
chloride convert all into the double platinum salt by adding platinic 
chloride. Treat with 80 per cent alcohol. Filter, wash with alcohol and 
dry or filter. Dissolve the potassium platinic chloride thus obtained by 
washing the precipitate on the filter with boiling .water. Evaporate to 
dryness, dr}', weigh as potassium platinic chloride, and calculate as pot- 
assium. 

Sodium. — Calculate the equivalent of potassium chloride and deduct 
from the weight of the combined chlorides of sodium and potassium. 
The difference is sodium' chloride and is calculated to sodium. 

Chlorides and Nitrates. — The methods used for mineral analysis are 
the same as used for the sanitary analysis. See pages 31 and 34. 

METHOD OF EEPORTING ANALYSES OF THE MINERAL CONTENT. 

The results obtained in the analysis of the mineral content are ex- 
jjressed in ionic form. By ions we understand those parts of a salt 
an acid or a base in aqueous solution, which will conduct the electric 
current. 

The results obtained are also expressed in hypothetical combinations 
of the ions. These, we believe, serve better than the ions to show the 
character of the water, because the combinations enable one to see at 
a glance the relative amounts of basic and acidic ions.

SANITARY water ANALYSIS. 

The statement of chemical results is made in parts per million bj 
weight. That is, in milligrams per liter. Since one liter of water 
weighs one million milligrams, these two expressions, "parts per million'^ 



BARTOW.] INTERPEETATION OF SANITARY ANALYSES. 89 

and "milligTams per liter/^ are practically synonymous. On the scale 
of 100, one part per million is equivalent to one ten thonsandth of one 
per cent (0.0001%). Should the data be desired in terms of grains per 
United States gallon of 231 cubic inches, multiply the parts per million 
by .058335. 

There is so much variation in the character of water from the different 
sources in the State, that no general standard can be made. We have 
made an attem^pt to formulate standards for the waters from the var- 
ious sources, as classified in this Bulletin. 

Surface Waters. 

With few exceptions it may be said that we should treat or filter all 
surface waters, in or bordering on the State, before using them for 
drinking purposes. Lake Michigan, alone, at a distance from the shore, 
furnishes a satisfactory water without treatment. A representative an- 
alysis of water from Lake Michigan, taken ten miles from the shore, is 
given by Adolph Gehrmann.^ It is repeated in the table of suggested 
standards for the interpretation of sanitary water analyses. The char- 
acteristics of the water from any stream are not constant but vary with 
the seasons. 

Turbidity. — The streams of the State invariably carry some matter 
in suspension. The turbidity should be less than 10 parts per million. 

Color. — The color should not exceed .2 parts per million, Nessler 
standard. 

Odor. — The odor should never be noticeable. 

Residue on Evaporation. — ^The total residue on evaporation varies 
greatly as the suspended matter varies. The soluble matter varies from 
137 parts per million in Lake Michigan, to 643 parts per million in a 
creek at Farmington. The residue should not exceed 300 parts per 
million. 

Chlorine. — Chlorine varies from 1.5 parts per million in Lake Michi- 
gan, to 63 parts per million in the Illinois river at Havana, before 
the opening of the drainage canal. A filtered water may varv^ between 
these limits, but as a rule should not exceed 6.0 parts per million. The 
test for chlorine is of value in showing the relative amount of pollution 
that has entered a stream. 

Consumed Oxygen. — Consumed oxygen should not exceed 5.0 parts 
per million. 

Nitrogen as Free Ammonia. — l!^itrogen as free ammonia varies from 
.002 in Lake Michigan, to 2.32 in the Illinois river at Kampsville, before 
the opening of the drainage canal. It should not exceed 0.05 parts per 
million. 

Nitrogen as Albuminoid Ammonia. — Nitrogen as albuminoid am- 
monia varies from .08 in Lake Michigan to .528 in the Illinois river at 
Kampsville, but should not exceed 0.15 parts per million. 

Nitrogen as Nitrites. — Nitrogen as nitrites should be absent. 



1 Report of Streams Examination, Sanitary District of Chicago, Chicago, 1902, 
p. 18. 



40 MINEEAL CONTENT OF WATERS. [bull no. 10. 

Nitrogen as Nitrates. — Xitrogen as nitrates should not exceed 0.5 
parts per million. 

Allxalinity. — Alkalinity varies with the season, and also varies accord- 
ing to the treatment in the filtered water. The raw water will vary from 
115 to 400 parts per million, and the treated water from 80 to 300 
parts per million.' 

Spring ^Yaters. 

Turhidity. — Spring waters when first issuing from the earth should 
have no turbidity. They sometimes become turbid on exposure to the 
air, owing to oxidation of the soluble iron salts and to the loss of car- 
bon dioxide. 

Color. — A spring water should have no color when it first issues 
from the earth. The oxidation of iron salts may produce a color. 

Odor. — There should be no odor except in springs containing hydrogen 
sulphide. 

Residue on Evaporation. — The total residue on evaporation varies 
from 200.8 parts per million, (11.71 grains per gallon) in a spring at 
Tolono, to 9188.3 parts per million, (536 grains per gallon) in a spring 
at Creal Springs. A good spring water for domestic use, should not 
have more than 500 parts per million. 

Chlorine. — Chlorine varies from O.T parts per million to 2675.0 parts 
per million. In springs for general use it should not exceed 15 parts 
per million. For the distril)ution of chlorine in springs. See plate 4. 

Consumed Oxygen. — Consumed oxygen should not exceed 2.0 part:^ 
per million. 

Nitrogen as Free and Albuminoid Ammonia. — Nitrogen as free and 
albuminoid ammonia, except in springs where the water becomes turbid 
on exposure to the air, should not exceed 0.02 parts per million and 0.05 
parts per million respectively. 

Nitrogen as Nitrites. — Xitrogen as nitrites should be absent. 

Nitrogen as Nitrates. — N'itrogen as nitrates should not exceed 2.0 
parts per million. 

Alkalinity. — Alkalinity may vary from 150 to 500 parts per million. 
It should not exceed 300 parts per million. 

^Yaiers from Shallow Wells in the Drift. 

These waters should be clear without color or odor. 

Residue on Evaporation. — The total residue on evaporation varies 
from 160.5 parts per million, (9.36 grains per gallon) in a well at Poag, 
to 5331.27 parts per million, (311 grains per gallon) in a well at Creal 
Springs. The residue should not exceed 500 parts per million. 

Chlorine. — Chlorine varies from .3 parts per million in a well at Pana, 
to 310 parts per million in a well at Bloomington. The majority of 
the waters reported are below 15 parts per million, an amount that 
should not l)e exceeded.

Consumed Oxygen. — ^Consiimed oxygen should not exceed 2.0 parts 
per million. 

jS'itrogen as Free and Alhuminoid Ammonia. — Nitrogen as free and 
albuminoid ammonia should not exceed 0.02 and 0.05 parts per million 
respectively. 

Nitrogen as Nitrites. — Nitrogen as nitrites should be absent. 

Nitrogen as Nitrates. — Nitrogen as nitrates should not exceed 2.0 
parts per million. 

All-alinity. — Alkalinity varies from 200 to 500 parts per million, with 
exceptional cases above or beloAV these limits. The alkalinity should 
not exceed 300 parts per million. 

Waters From Deep Drift Wells. 

Turbidity. — The well waters in the drift are clear when first drawn, 
but almost invariably become turbid on exposure to the air, due to ox- 
idation of the iron salts, and to the loss of carbon dioxide. 

Color. — These waters are colorless when first drawn, but may become 
colored on standing, owing to the oxidation of the iron salts. 

Odor. — These waters are usually odorless, but hydrogen sulphide is 
sometimes found. 

Residue on Evaporation. — The total residue on, evaporation varies 
from 199 parts per million, (11.6 grains per gallon) in a well at Havana, 
to 2606 parts per million, (152 grains per gallon) in a well at Morgan 
Park. The residue should not exceed 500 parts per million. See plate 5. 

Chlorine. — Chlorine varies from 1.0 parts per million in a well at 
Bradford, to 1,250 parts per million in a well at Hope. The majority 
of these wells are below 5.0 parts per million in chlorine, and a limit 
of 15.0 can easily be allowed. See plate 6. 

Consumed Oxygen. — Consumed oxygen is variable as in the deep rock 
wells, and the same limits 5.0 parts per million in the presence of fer- 
rous salts or hydrogen sulphide, and 2.0 parts per million in their ab- 
sence, may be set. 

Nitrogen as Free Ammonia. — Nitrogen as free ammonia varies from 
0.3 parts per million in a well at Bristol, to 28.0 parts per million in a 
well at Marshall. Limits may be placed from 0.02 to 3.0 parts per 
million. 

Nitrogen as Alhuminoid Ammonia. — Nitrogen as albuminoid am- 
monia may reach 0.2 parts per million. 

Nitrogen as Nitrites. — Nitrogen as nitrites are frequently found, and 
ma}^ go as high as 0.005 parts per million in waters containing ferrous 
salts. 

Nitrogen as Nitrates. — Nitrogen as nitrates are present in small quan- 
tities, usually not exceeding 0.5 parts per million. 

Alkalinity. — Alkalinity varies from 200 to 600 parts per million, 
sodium carbonate frequently being present. The alkalinity should not 
exceed 300 parts per million.

Waters from Deep Wells in Bocl:. 

Turhidity. — These waters are clear when first clrawn^ but often become 
turbid on exposure to the air, due to the oxidation of the iron salts and 
to the loss of carbon dioxide. « 

Color. — These waters should be colorless when first draAvn but may 
become colored on exposure to the air, due to the presence of salts of 
iron. 

Odor. — There should be no odor except when h3^drogen sulphide is 
present in occasional samples. 

Residue on Evaporation. — The total residue on evaporation varies 
from 178 parts per million (10.39 grains per gallon) in a well at Hins- 
dale, to 44,587 parts per million (2,601 grains per gallon) in a well at 
Fairfield. 

In general, it may be said, that the deep rock wells in the northern 
part of the State contain less residue on evaporation, whereas the deep 
wells further south are very highly mineralized. A limit of 500 parts 
per million of residue on evaporation can be used in the northern part 
of the State, but such a limit is too low for the rest of the State. See 
plate 7. 

Chlorine. — Chlorine varies from 0.6 parts per million (.034 grains 
per gallon) in a well at Stockton and 0.5 parts per million (.029 grains 
per gallon) in a well at Aniboy, to 11,000 parts per million (647.46 
grains per gallon) in a well at Harrisburg. Xo absolute standard can 
be set for wells of this class. See plate 8. 

Consumed Oxygen. — Consumed oxygen is quite variable. This is 
sometimes due to the presence of ferrous salts or hydrogen sulphide gas, 
in which case 5.0 parts per million would not be excessive. In the ab- 
sence of these substances, consumed oxygen should not exceed 2.0 to 5.0 
parts per million. 

Nitrogen as Free Ammonia. — Xitrogen as free ammonia in waters 
containing iron salts may be as high as 3.0 parts per million. In the 
absence of iron salts, the free ammonia should not exceed 0.02 parts 
per million. 

Nitrogen as Albuminoid Ammonia. — Nitrogen as albuminoid am- 
monia should not exceed 0.15 parts per million. 

Nitrogen as Nitrites. — Xitrogen as nitrites should be absent except in 
the presence of iron salts, where the nitrates are reduced. 

Nitrogen as Nitrates. — Nitrogen as nitrates should not exceed 0.5 
parts" per million. 

Alkalinity .—KW^^limij varies with the residue on evaporation be- 
tween the limits 200 to 600 parts per million. In a water for domestic 
use, it should not exceed 300 parts per million.

ANALYSES OF THE MINERAL CONTENT. 



Surface ^Yaters. 

The analyses made include samples from only twenty-three towns and' 
from fifteen different streams. No definite conclusions can be drawn 
from so small a. number of analyses. We will be able to furnish better 
data from the series of analyses now under Avay under the cooperative 
agTeement with the United States Gl-eological Survey. 

Residue on Evaporation. — We have given beloAv the limits found in the- 
few samples analyzed. We note that the smallest amount of solids is found 
in the water from Lake Michigan^ the highest amounts were in samples^ 
from the Illinois river at Pekin taken before the opening of the Chi- 
cago drainage canal and from a creek at Farmington. The amount of 
solids range from 137.4 parts per million (7.97 grains per gallon) in 
Lake Michigan to 519.7 parts per million (29.87 f rains per gallon) in 
the Illinois river at Pekin, and 613 parts per million (37.51 grains per 
gallon) in the Creek at Farmington.

ination Sanitary District of Chicago, p. 18. 

2 This standard of purity is seldom found in the unfiltered water as all 
streams are more or less polluted. 

3 None when drawn from wells. They may become turbid and develop color 
on standing. 

4 Varies as the waters contain ferrous salts. 



BARTOW.] INTERPRETATION OF MINERAL ANALYSES. 49 

Potassium. — Very few separations of sodium and potassium in sur- 
face waters have been made. 

Sodium. — The smallest amount of sodium 5.6 parts per million was 
found in Lake Michigan water at Chicago. The highest 62.8 parts per 
million in a creek at Farmington. 

Magnesium. — The lowest magnesium content 5.9 parts per million 
was found in the Ohio river at Cairo, the highest 51.1 parts per million 
was in a creek at Farmington. The Illinois river at Havana and the 
Apple river at Apple river station had 41.5 and 41.2 parts per million, 
respectively. 

Calcium. — The lowest calcium 15.8 parts per million was found in 
the Ohio river at Cairo, the highest, 107.1 parts per million, in 1900 in 
the Illinois river at Havana. 

Iron. — The lowest iron content of the combined oxides of iron and 
aluminium, was found in Lake Michigan water, .7 parts per million, 
the highest, 64.7 parts per million in Kickapoo creek at South Bar- 
tonville. 

Nitrates. — The lowest nitrates, .8 parts per million of NOa was found 
in Lake Michigan water, a creek at Eockford and Eock river at Eock- 
ford; the highest, 14.6 parts per million of NOs in the Illinois river 
at Pekin, due undoubtedly to sewage contamination. 

Chlorine. — The lowest chlorine, 2.2 parts per million, was found in 
the Kankakee river at Kankakee, and the highest 14 to 63 parts per 
million in the Illinois river and 16.8 parts per million in the Calumet 
lake at Kensington. 

Sulphates. — The lowest sulphates was found in the Apple river, 7.8 
parts per million with Lake Michigan next with, 8.4 parts per million, 
the highest 112.4 parts per million in Calumet Lake. 

Silica. — The lowest ^silica was found in Apple river, 1.8 parts per 
million, the highest in Eackapoo creek at South Bartonville, 176 parts 
per million. The high silica of the latter was probably due to sus- 
pended matter which was not removed by filtration. 

Springs. 

The 131 waters analyzed come from eighty-eight towns located in 
fiity-eight counties. The distribution is shown on plate 4. An in- 
spection of the results show the following interesting items: 

Residue on Evaporation. — The residue on evaporation varies from 
178.4 parts per million (10.39 grains per gallon) in a spring at Mak- 
anda, Jackson county, to 12268 parts per million (713.07 grains per 
gallon) in a spring at Creal Springs in Williamson county. The ma- 
jority of the springs contain from 15 to 35 grains per gallon of residue. 

Potassium. — Potassium varies from 0.8 parts per million, in springs 
at Canton and London Mills, Fulton county, and Cobden, Union county, 
to 29.2 parts per million, in a spring at Cutler, Perry county. By far 
the greatest number of waters have less than five parts per million of 
potassium.

50 MINEKAL CONTENT OF WATEES. [bull. no. 10 

Sodium. — Sodium varies from 4.2 parts per million in a spring at 
Plano^, Kendall county, to' 1,963 parts per million in a spring at Jack- 
sonville, Morgan county. A majority of the springs have less than fif- 
teen parts per million of sodium. 

Magnesium. — The mag-nesium varies from 8.2 parts per million in 
a spring at Salem, Marion county, to 591 parts per million in a spring 
at Claremont, Eichland county. A majority of the springs contain more 
than twenty and less than fifty parts per million of magnesium. 

Calcium. — The calcium varies from 17.0 parts per million in a spring 
in Salem, Marion county, and 17.3 parts per million in a spring at 
Jacksonville, Morgan county, to 1114. parts per million in a spring at 
Creal Springs in Williamson county. The majority of the springs con- 
tain from 75 to 10^ parts per million of calcium. 

Iron. — The iron varies from traces in several springs to 997. parts 
per million in a spring at Side 11, Vermilion county. A large majority 
of the springs examined contain less than 3.0 parts per million of iron. 

Alumina.' — The alumina varies from a trace or less than one part per 
million in several springs to 214. parts per million of AI2O3 in a spring 
at Abingdon, Knox county. A majority contain less than 3.0 parts per 
million. 

Nitrates. — The nitrates vary from less than one part per million in 
many' springs to- 65.5 parts per million of NOs in a spring at Eock Island, 
Eock Island county. Most of the spring waters examined contain less 
than 5.0 parts per million. 

CMorine. — The chlorine varies from .7 parts per millian in a spring 
at Colchester, McDonough county to 2675. parts per million in a spring 
at Jacksonville, Morgan county. The majority of the waters contain less 
than ten parts per million. The variation is shown in plate 4. 

Sulphates. — The sulphates vary from less than one part per million 
in several springs to 7,863 parts per million in a spring at Creal 
Springs, Williamson county. The amount of sulphates is very variable 
though about half of the springs have less than fifty parts per million. 

Silica. — The silica varies from 4.5 parts per million, of SiOs in a 
spring at Cerro Gordo in Piatt county to 68.4 parts per million of SiOa 
at Sidell, Vermilion county. A majority contain from fifteen to 
thirty parts per million of silica (SiOs). 

Ammonium. — The majority of the springs contain less than .1 parts 
per million of nitrogen as ammonia. Where they contain more than one 
part per million it has been considered in calculating the hypothetical 
combinations. A few springs have shown very noticeable amounts, viz. : 
Springs at Middlesworth, Shelby county; Piano, Kendall county; Pu- 
laski, Pulaski county; Dudley, Edgar county. 

Drift Wells. 

We have included in this summary the water from all wells reported 
as having their sources in the drift, or in the alluvial soil of river 
bottoms. 



BARTOW.] INTEKPKETATION OF MINERAL ANALYSES. 51 

Residue on Evaporation. — In the amount of mineral content we find 
more regTilarity than in the springs. The residue on evaporation varies 
from 161 parts per million (9.36 grains per gallon) in a 55 foot Avell 
at Poag, Madison county, to 5,349 parts per million (311.9 grains per 
gallon) in a 21 foot well at Creal Springs, Williamson county. The 
well at Creal Springs has the characteristics of the springs at that 
place and should almost be classed with springs. A bare majority of the 
wells of this class which were analyzed contain less than 500 parts per 
million (29.2 grains per gallon). If it were not for the fact that many 
of the waters examined have been sent in because of difficulty with the 
water in boilers, the relative number of the wells with less than 500 
parts per million of residue would be greater. The location of the deep 
wells in drift and the amount of residue in each is shown on plate 5. 

Potassium. — The potassium varies from 0.8 parts per million in a. well 
fifty feet deep at Oquaquar in Henderson county to 102 parts per million 
in a well at Hope, Vermilion county. As is the case with springs an 
amount of potassium exceeding 5.0 parts per million is uncommon. 

Sodium. — The sodium varies from 4.0 parts per million in a well at 
Bristol, Kendall county to 742 parts per million in a. well at Hope, Ver- 
milion county. The sodium is higher in the drift wells than in the 
springs. Only a small majority of the wells have less than 45 parts per 
million of sodium. This is probably due to the frequent occurrence of 
sodium carbonate waters in the deep drift wells. 

Magnesium. — ^Magnesium varies from 4.3 parts per million in a well 
at Mt. Vernon, Jefferson county, to 511 parts per million in a well at 
Creal Springs, Williamson county. A majority contain more than 25 
parts per million and less than 45 parts per million of magnesium. 

Calcium. — Calcium varies from 18 parts per million in a well at 
Flanagan, Livingston county, to 604 parts per million in a well at 
Morgan Park, Cook county. A majority of the wells contain less than 
80 parts per million of calcium. 

Iron. — ^The iron varies from traces in several wells, to 11.0 parts per 
million in a well at Paris, Edgar county. The majority of the wells 
contain less than 2.0 parts per million, the deeper wells as a rule 
containing more of the iron. 

Aluminium. — The aluminium varies from 0.3 parts per million in 
wells at Macomb, McDonough county, to 12 parts per million in a well 
at Urbana, Champaign county. A large proportion of the wells contain 
less than 1.5 parts per million. 

Nitrates. — Nitrates vary from 0.1 parts per million of NOs in a well 
at Shelby ville, to 850 parts per million in a well at Bloomington. The 
majority of the wells contain less than 2.0 parts per million. Most of 
the deeper wells contain less than one part per million. 

Chlorine. — Chlorine varies from .6 parts per million in a well at 
Clinton, DeWitt county, to 1,250 parts per million in a well at Hope, 
Vermilion county. A majority of all the wells have less than 15 parts 
per million. A majority of the deep wells contain less than five parts 
per million. (Plate 6.) 



52 MINERAL CONTENT OF WATERS. [BULL. no. 10 

Sulphate. — The sulphate varies from 0.2 parts per million in a well 
at Ashland, Cass county, to 3,338 parts per million in a well at Creal 
Springs. This well is similar in character to the springs at CreaL 
Springs, and contains an exceptionally large amount of sulphate. While 
the sulphate is very variahle, the greater number of wells contain less 
than 50 parts per million. The majority of the deep drift waters con- 
tain less than 15 parts per million. 

Silica. — The silica varies from 1.8 parts per million in a well at 
Peoria, to 75 parts per million in a well at Creal Springs. A large 
magority of all the drift wells contain between 15 and 25 parts per 
million. 

Ammonium. — The majority of the shallow wells do not contain suffi- 
cient ammonium to make it necessary to consider it in the hypothetical 
combinations. Ammonium in the deeper wells reaches 41.1 parts per 
million of NH4 in a well at Tolono, Champaign county, and a majority 
of the deeper wells contain more than 1.0 parts per million. 

Deep Wells in Rock. 

There have been examined 259 wells in rock, sixty-eight of which are 
reported to us as flowing wells. This distinction has no effect on the 
quality of the water, and therefore, in compiling our summaries, we have 
considered all of the deep rock wells to be in the same class. The large 
majority of the deep rock wells are in the northern part of the State, as 
indicated on plates 7 and 8. 

Residue on Evaporation. — In the residue on evaporation we find a 
wide variation. From the 209 parts per million (12.13 grains per 
gallon ) in a well 300 feet deep at Chicago, Cook county, it varies to the 
44,600 parts per million (2,602 grains per gallon) in a well 825 feet 
deep at Fairfield in Wayne county. The residue in the deep wells in 
rock is lowest along the northern border of the State, and increases 
toward the south, reaching a maximum along a line drawn from Quincy 
to Ottawa. This is illustrated on plate 7. 

Potassium. — The potassium varies from .7 parts per million in a well 
174 feet deep at North Chicago, to 332.1 parts per million in a well 
275 feet deep in Harrisburg, Saline county. The majority have less 
than 15 parts per million of potassium. 

Sodium. — The sodium varies from 5.6 parts per million in a well 
2,000 feet deep at Byron, Ogrle county, to 13,548 parts per million in 
a well 825 feet deep at Fairfield, Wayne county. About one-half of the 
wells have less than 150 parts per million. One quarter have from 150 
to 400 parts per million of sodium. 

Magnesium. — The magnesium varies from 1.6 parts per million in 
a well 90 feet deen at Aurora, Kane county, to 598 parts per million 
in a well at New Burnside, Johnson county. A lars-e majority have less 
than GO parts per million, and only about one seventh of the wells con- 
tain more than 100 parts per million of magnesium.

Calciwm. — -The calcium varies from l.G parts per million in a well 
280 feet deep at Keensburg in Wabash county, to 1,203 parts per million 
in a well 900 feet deep in McHenry county. The majority of the wells 
contain from 60 to 150 parts per million of calcium. 

Ii'on. — Iron varies from traces in many wells to 2,506 parts per 
million in a deep well at Kell in Marion county. A majority have less 
than 2.0 parts per million of iron. 

Aluminium. — The aluminium varies from traces to 428 parts per 
million in a well at Ivell, Marion county. The majority of the wells 
contain less than 2.0 parts per million of aluminium. 

Silica. — While the silica varies from 2.4 parts per million of SiOs in 
a. well at Stronghurst, Henderson county, to 95 parts per million in a 
w^ell 1,395 feet deep at Bushnell, McDonough county, 80 per cent of the 
wells contain between 5 and 15 parts per million of SiO^. 

Nitrates. — Nitrogen as nitrates varies from less than .1 parts per 
million of NOs in several wells, to 93 parts per million of NOs in a 
well 250 feet deep at Winnetka, Cook county. The majority have less 
than 0.8 parts per million of NOs. 

Chlorine. — Chlorine varies from 0.5 parts per million in a well 2,100 
feet deep at Amboy, Lee county, to 11,000 parts per million in a w^ell 
275 feet deep at Harrisburg, Saline county. About one-half of the wells 
have less than 50 parts per million. The relative distribution of the 
chlorine in deep wells in rock is shown on plate 8. Especially notice- 
able is the increase in the chlorine from the northern border of the State 
to a maximum along a line drawn from Quincy to Ottawa. 

8ulphates.^^v\^\\diie& vary from 0.1 parts per million of SO4 in a well 
253 feet deep at Paris, Edgar county, to 2,119 parts per million in a well 
sixty-two feet deep at New Burnside, Johnson county. The majority 
of the wells have less than 50 parts per million, and about 40 per cent 
have less than 20 parts per million of SO*. 

Ammonium. — Only a very small number of the deep rock wells con- 
tain less than 0.1 parts per million of ammonium (NH4). The largest 
amount observed, 15.9 parts per million, was found in a well 275 feet 
deep at Harrisburg, Saline county. The ammonium in most of the wells 
does not exceed one part per million. 

GENEEAL OBSEEVATIONS. 

It has been noted that the waters of the State may be divided into two 
classes, according as they contain sodium carbonate or magnesium sul- 
phate, and the relative location of such waters has been shown on plates 
2 and 3. We would further note that the large majority of the waters 
are alkaline. Only twelve contain enough nitrate, chlorine, and sul«- 
phate ions, to more than neutralize the potassium, sodium, anunonium, 
calcium, and magnesium, leaving some sulphate to unite with iron, to 
form ferrous sulphate. These waters, it may be noted, are from Abing- 
don, Camden, Creal Springs, Kell, McComb, Makanda, Maquon, Mt. 
Yemon, Palestine, Quincy, Sidell, and Staunton. 

The relative alkalinity of the waters analyzed, including the acid 
waters is shown on plate 9. " 



BARTOW.J INTERPRETATION OF MINERAL ANALYSES, 55 

Of interest to the engineer, is the fact that fifty-nine waters from 
forty-two towns, contain enough nitrate and chlorine ions to more tlian 
neiiralize the potassium, sodium, and ammonium ions, so that mag- 
nesium chloride appears in the hypothetical combinations, indicating 
the possibility of corrosion when used in boilers. 



56 MINERAL CONTENT OF WATERS. [bull. no. 10 



BOILER WATERS. 

[By S. W. Parr.] 



When used for industrial purposes^ water is chiefly modified as to its 
quality by the mineral constituents which are held in solution. This is 
particularly true in the case of waters which are to be used for steam 
generation in boilers. The constant removal of pure water in the form 
of steam leaves a solution of mineral matter more or less concentrated 
which may result in (a) the formation of scale, (b) the priming or 
foaming of the water, or (c) the corrosion of the plates and flues. 

From an analysis, therefore, of the mineral constitutents we should be 
able to fairly judge as to the behavior of a water when used for steam- 
ing purposes. 

Scale. 

The formation of scale on the interior of a boiler produces a number 
of results more or less serious. Scale is a poor conductor of heat; on 
this account more fuel is required to produce a given result. The added 
expense from this cause has been estimated as follows.^ 

'A test of steaming efficiency was made at the University of Illinois, on a 
locomotive having a thickness of scale averaging one-eighth of an inch. 
After over-hauling and cleaning, a second test was made which showed a 
he^-t loss of 10.5 per cent due to the one-eighth of an inch scale. 

This agrees closely with a comparison made previously on the same road. 
The performance sheets of one hundred and twenty locomotives were taken 
with reference to the consumption of coal for three months next preceding 
an overhauling and cleaning, and these results were compared with the 
coal consumption for the three months immediately following such a 
cleaning, with an average showing for the one hundred and twenty en- 
gines, of almost exactly 10 per cent in favor of the scale-free condition. 

The annual fuel Mil on one of the roads of the Middle West is approx- 
imately $1,500,000. Suppose half the locomotives on the system to be clean 
and working at their proper efficiency, and the other half possessed of tfhe 
above average thickness of scale; 5 per cent additional cost for fuel would 
represent an annual tax of $75,000 due to this cause. 

Duplicate this expense with another which would represent approximately 
the cost of overhauling and repairs, chargeable directly to the presence of 
scale, and we have a sum representing the annual interest at 5 per cent on an 
investment of $3,000,000. This takes no account of interest on the large 
number of continuously idle engines under repaid, nor of the cost of acci- 
dents or disasters due more or less directly to bad waters." 

Aside from the loss of heat there are other serious possibilities. When 
thus protected from the cooling effect of the water the iron attains a 



iJournal American Chemical Society 28-640. 



PARR.] BOILEE WATERS. 57 

miicli higher temperature than would otherwise be the case, thus facili- 
tating the absorption of oxygen and sulphur from the combustion cham- 
ber. Under the best possible conditions the deterioration of a fire-box 
is rapid enough. Overheating of the plates due to poor conductivity 
rapidly multiplies the rate of deterioration as the result of the change 
in chemical composition of the iron. The temperature may even reach 
a point where softening of the iron occurs, thus making possible the 
blowing out of the metal. Quite as serious a possibility is the cracking 
of the layer of scale over the parts thus highly heated whereby the water 
is suddenly admitted under conditions well suited to produce an ex- 
plosion. 

The constituents in solution which are classed as scale producers are 
silica, iron, aluminium, and salts of calcium and magnesium. The last 
two are commonly in the form of bicarbonates and sulphates, though 
they may occur as chlorides and still less frequently as nitrates. Be- 
cause of the fact that the most common and most evident characteristic 
is shown by its scaling property, this feature has been of more use than 
any other to indicate the quality of boiler waters. 

Probably the earliest and still perhaps the most frequently used meth- 
od of classification is based on the hardness or quantity of soap required 
to precipitate the lime and other scaling constituents in order to bring 
the water to a "soft" condition. The degree of hardness may be deter- 
mined, according to Clark's process, by use of a solution of soap reacting 
upon a solution of calcium chloride of such strength that each gallon 
•should contain the equivalent of one grain of calcium carbonate. Each 
^rain so held in solution is designated as a degree of hardness. But 
since the English imperial gallon differs from the American gallon, the 
Clark's scale of hardness differs correspondingly; that is, by the English 
standard, one degree of hardness is equivalent to one grain of calcium 
carbonate in 70,000 grains of water, and by the American standard, one 
degree of hardness is equivalent to one grain of calcium carbonate in 
-58,381 grains of water. The Fi-ench and German standards differ again 
in that they are based on the decimal system, each degree of hardness 
representing so many parts per 100,000 of water, but it is to be noted 
that the German degree represents one part of CaO per 100,000 parts 
of water, while the French degree represents one part of CaCOs per 
100,000 parts of water. It is coming to be a very common practice 
in this country to consider each part per million or 1 milligram (of 
CaCOs) per liter as a degree of hardness, and this is more in accord with 
the method of reporting other data connected with water analysis. These 
methods of measuring the scaling properties of boiler water convey a 
somewhat vague and not altogether satisfactory conception of its char- 
acter. They are based on the same equivalent; namely, that for lime or 
calcium carbonate, but are made to include all scale-forming ingredients, 
since they all react to form an insoluble soap. That is, while magnesium 
and iron unite with the soap solution in the same manner as the lime, 
they differ as to the relative proportions in which they unite. An appli- 
cation of this unit to the grading of waters is sometimes made for the 
purpose of designating the relative quality of a water. At a meeting of 
the American Association of Eailway Chemists held at Buffalo, N. Y,, 
JViay 24-35, 1887, the following schedule was adopted: 



58 MINERAL CONTENT OF WATEES, [bull. no. 10 

Water containing- less than 15 grains per gallon of scale-forming ingredients (258 
parts per million), good. 

From 15 to 20 grains per g-allon (258 to 344 part& per million), fair. 
From 20 to 30 grains per gallon (344 to 515 parts per million), poor. 
From 30 to 40 grains per gallon (515 to 697 parts per million), bad. 
Over 40 grains per g-allon (697 parts per million), very bad. 

While this schedule may serve as a very fair index of the quality of 
many waters^ there are others where such a test would be misleading. 
For example, it is hardly admissible to call a water "good^^ which has, 
say 15 grains to the gallon (258 parts per million) of scaling material 
when other constituents are present in sufficient quantity to cause foam- 
ing. A water cannot be both good and bad at the same time. Again, 
it is not impossible to have waters with from 15 to 20 grains to the 
gallon (258 to 344 parts per million) of incrusting matter present while 
other conditions exist which practically prevent the formation of scale. 
The diagnosis of a water for boiler use, therefore, is not altogether a 
simple proposition. 

So far as the scaling ingredients alone are to be taken into account, 
two fundamental facts should be borne in mind; first, what proportion 
of the lime and magnesia is present as sulphate, and second, are alkaline 
bicarbonates present in sufficient quantity to precipitate the scaling in- 
gredients in the form of sludge, and thus prevent the formation of 
scale. 

Under the first heading it may be said that the presence of scaling 
ingredients in the form of calcium or magnesium sulphate is a certain 
index of a condition which will result in the formation of a hard, dense, 
cement-like scale. The carbonates of these elements may also be present 
in much larger amount, and if not accompanied by sulphates, the scale 
formed would be of a loose open texture, easy of removal in cleaning, 
but the presence of calcium sulphate exceeding two or three grains per 
gallon (35 to 50 parts per million) is sufficient to serve as a good 
cementing material in the production of a hard, flinty scale. 

Under the second heading, that of water having an excess of free 
alkaline bicarbonates, attention is called to the wide distribution of 
these waters as may be seen by reference to plate 9. Very considerable 
areas are met with in Illinois, where, at a depth of from 100 to 200 feet 
this type of water is obtained which has. almost an absence of sulphates, 
all the lime and magnesia are in the form of bicarbonates, and an 
amount of sodium bicarbonate is present ranging from 2 to 20 grains 
per gallon, (35 to 350 parts per million) quite sufficient upon the ap- 
plication of heat to throw all of the scale-forming ingredients out of 
solution. 

At least one large area in Illinois has been developed where this 
water is found at a depth varying from 125 to 165 'ifeet. With the 
University of Illinois as a center, it extends east and west approximately 
a total distance of 100 miles, and north and south about 40 miles. At 
other points, the same type is met with at varying depths from springs 
to deep rock wells. At Burnside, near Chicago, this same free alkali 
type occurs again at a depth of 400 feet. At Wenona, 100 miles south- 
west, it occurs at a depth of 800 feet, but with an additional constitu- 
tent of sodium chloride amounting to 80 grains per gallon (1,380 parts

per million.) At Carbondale again, 300 miles south of Chicago, the 
same type is met with, having 15 grains (258 parts per million) of 
free sodium carbonate, no sulphate of lime, and 120 grains (20G parts 
per million) of salt per gallon. The depth is 850 feet. 

It is readily seen that in use, with this type, the water in the boiler 
becomes more and more impregnated with free alkali. This very soon 
becomes a most active precipitating re-agent for the fresh incoming 
water, the result being that no scale but only sludge forms inside the 
•boiler. Outside the boiler, in the feed water, e. g., this condition does 
not exist; indeed, the bicarbonate of lime present is in the best possible 
form for producing scale where only heat is applied, hence such waters 
scale badly in feed pipes as they approach the hot part of the boiler, 
as also in feed- water heaters and especially in heaters such as water- 
backs for household service. 

The wide distribution of this type of water and its increasing use for 
industrial .purposes makes any information as to its behavior desirable. 
Fifteen years ago such waters were so rarely met with as to be practi- 
cally without recognition. Today they are of such common occurrence 
as to call for special consideration concerning their characteristics in 
practical service. When properly handled they have some features of 
exceptional advantage. 

Occasional experiments have been conducted by the writer with a 
view to making use of that particular property of alkalinity, which re- 
sults in accumulation of free soda-ash, and sodium hydroxide in the 
residual water left in the boiler from the continued generation of steam. 
This residual water, it will readily be seen, is the best possible form of 
solution for the chemical treatment of the incoming water. If the raw 
water is allowed to come directly into the boiler, there is set up at once 
this purifying reaction already mentioned, which results in the pre- 
cipitation of the scaling ingredients within the generator in the form 
of sludge. T'o prevent this reaction within the boiler, and at the same 
time take advantage of the principle by providing for its operation on 
the outside, the following procedure was followed.

The method has been in operation for a number of years with decided 
advantage over conditions where the same water was fed directly into 
the boiler. The supply from the pump and feed water heater is forced 
through the pipe A. By introducing this current into the pipe as at 
C a jet action is produced which carries into the current the strongly 
alkaline water from the boiler^ thereby reacting with the scale-forming 
material under the most favorable conditions of heat, etc., to produce 
complete precipitation of that material. A settling drum is provided, 
and the water which finally passes from it is free from scale forming ma- 
terial either dissolved or in the form of sludge. 

Foaming. 

One problem, and that often a serious one, presents itself in connec- 
,tion with this type of water, and that is the tendency to foami. A 
rather extensive series of tests, made in connection with a locomotive 
. in heavy freight service on the Illinois Central, established the limit 
for alkaline salts of the sulphate and chloride sort as approximately 
fifty grains per gallon (860 parts per million) ; that is, when an ordin- 
ary engine tank filled with such water has been all discharged into the 
boiler, the resulting concentration, bringing the ratio ^up to three or 
four times the initial amount of alkali, affords a condition to promote 
foaming when extra stress of work, such as a heavy load, or greater 
. speed, is imposed upon the engine. This tendency to foam is much en- 
hanced by the presence of free alkali. 

It will thus be seen that a consideration of the scaling ingredients 
alone can hardly be made without taking into account the foaming con- 
stitutents. It may be said in general, however, that where free sodium 
bicarbonate is not present, at least in quantity sufficient to precipitate 
-all of the scale forming material, its character is fairly indicated by the 
tabulation already given as proposed by the Association of Eailway 
Chemists. 

As already stated, a water may be definitely considered as liable to 
foam in locomotive boilers if the quantity of alkaline salts approaches 
fift}' grains to the gallon (860 parts per million) in amount. Stationary 
boilers, because of more uniformity of service and greater steam space, 
may not foam even with a much greater amount of alkali present. Other 
conditions, however, may greatly modify this assumption. It is alto- 
gether probable that if conditions could be maintained within the boiler 
whereby the water would be free from finely divided particles, the tend- 
ency to foam would be lessened if not entirely removed. The opposite 
condition is certain to exist in all cases where free sodium carbonate is 
present in the water. Its action is to precipitate the lime and other 
scaling ingredients immediately upon the entrance of fresh water to 
the boiler. Hence, under these conditions, foaming is likely to occur 
with much less alkaline salt present than fifty grains per gallon (860 
parts per million). Especially is this the case where the waters are 
turbid from finely divided matter in suspension. It will sometimes 
happen that water from st:^eams carrying this fine material will cause 



PARR.] BOILER WATERS. 61 

foaming where the alkaline salts with free sodium carbonate present will 
not amount altogether to more than 15 or 20 grains per gallon (258 to 
344 parts per million.) 

Corrosion. 

Corrosion is ordinarily due to free acid accompanying the leachings 
from coal mine water, the iron pyrites upon oxidizing to ferric oxide 
liberating sulphuric acid. Magnesium chloride is almost equally corrod- 
ing, and the nitrates of either magnesium or calcium are active in the 
same direction. These latter combinations rarely occur, and when 
found are associated with such large quantities of scaling material that 
the metal surfaces are kept well covered with protecting scale. However, 
it may be expected that, in such cases, pitting under the scale may occur 
due to the localized decomposition of the salts and the liberation of free 
acid. Gases dissolved in water may cause corrosion. This is often to 
be observed near the inlet of feed pipes where the dissolved oxygen or 
carbon dioxide of the incoming feed water furnish the conditions favor- 
able to corrosion. 

In general, the waters of the free alkali tvne which are self purging 
have by that fact the conditions present which are most active in pro- 
moting foaming. By the same conditions, produced artificially by the 
usual methods of water treatment, either within or outside of the 
boiler, the chief difficulty encountered is the tendency to foam on the part 
of the water thus treated. It is not the purpose of this paper to discuss 
methods of water purification, but rather to present such facts as have 
a bearing upon the diagnosis of a boiler water, thus enabling one with a 
reasonable degree of certainty to foretell the probable behavior of the 
water when used for steaming purposes.

THE MEDICINAL SPRINGS OF ILLINOIS. 

[By George Thomas Palmer, M. D.i] 



Historical Statement. 

Until within the past few years, the intelligent study of mineral water 
therap}^, or "crounotherapy/^ as it is now generally termed, was left al- 
most entirely to the medical men of the old world. The American min- 
eral springs, which were discovered in considerable number eaiiy in our 
national history, received the more or less transitory attention and pat- 
ronage of laymen and the passing notice of a few physicians, but were 
developed in such a way as to produce no dependable literature concern- 
ing their waters or their therapeutic uses. The majority of the water- 
ing places which sprang into prominence, laid their claims for favor on 
their facilities for social enjoyment, and, with the changes of fashion, 
they have fallen into decay. Such data, as were accumulated concerning 
the medicinal value of their waters, were unsupported by competent med- 
ical observation and frequently bore the earmarks of commercial enter- 
prise. Yaluable mineral springs, which merited the serious attention 
of the better element of the medical profession, were advertised in the 
flamboyant style of the patent medicine vendor, and physicians turned 
irpm them with skepticism or with disgust. 

During this same period, while the valuable medicinal waters of 
America have been denied the medical profession through unfortunate 
methods of promotion and through lack of real knowledge concerning 
them, the spas of the old world have maintained their place in European 
therapy and have drawn a not inconsiderable support from the patron- 
age of the American people. In fact, in foreign countries, mineral 
water treatment has advanced hand in hand with other therapeutic 
measures, each year becoming more firmly established and more widely 
accepted through more careful observation of its efficiency, and this is 
made ap]3arent through the fact that practically every European text-book 
or monograph, dealing with therapeutics or the practice of medicine, de- 
votes a reasonable amount of space to the practical application of min- 
eral waters. 

The American medical profession have found it to their advantage to 
borrow extensively from European medical lore, English translations of 
European monographs finding a ready market in this country, and as a 
result of the study of such works, the well-read American physician has 
gained a fair idea of the value of the waters of Carlsbad, Yals, Vichy 
and other European watering places, although remaining entirely in

ignorance of the therapeutic applicability of our American waters. It 
was^ in all probability, the interest created by the writings of European 
medical authorities that prompted our recent awakening in our medi- 
cinal springs. 

Although it had been contended, in times past, that practically every 
European water had one or more analogues in the United States, this 
fact does not seem to have been placed before our medical profession in 
concrete form until 1901, when Dr. Guy Hinsdale, then of Philadelphia, 
presented a paper on "Some Analogous European and American Min- 
eral Springs/'^ before the American Climatological Association. This 
paper was based upon the extensive investigations of the United States 
Government, carried out by Dr. A. C. Peale, of the U. S. Geological Sur- 
vey,'^ and upon the work on "The Mineral Waters of the United 
States,^ by Dr. James K. Crook, of New York. In his conclusions. 
Dr. Hinsdale pointed out that "we have in America the counterpart of 
nearly all of the springs of Europe,^' and, further, that we have some 
springs such as Europe has never seen. The comparative lists published 
by Dr. Hinsdale at that time, offered information which was indeed sur- 
prising to those who read them and who considered their significance. 
It was shown to that class of prosperous American physicians, of more 
or less European training, who had been accustomed to send their pa- 
tients to the spas of the old world for treatment, that, in so doing, they 
had imposed unnecessary burdens of time and money upon their patrons ; 
it was indicated, to the far sighted, that a day will come when, as in 
Europe, crounotherapy will be regarded as a part, of the liberal educa- 
tion of every American "physician, and it was demonstrated that we have 
at hand, in this country, ready for practical, therapeutic application, a 
wealth of natural resources. The work of Dr. Hinsdale further sug- 
gested that the extensive literature, collected throughout generations 
by competent European observers at the various spas, may, with slight 
modifications and allowances, be made applicable to analogous American 
waters and, hence, of the greatest practical value to the American phys- 
ician. 

Regardless of the revival of interest in our medicinal springs, man- 
ifested in the early part of the decade, there remained several practical 
obstacles to the immediate employment of American waters. First, the 
clinical data in regard to our various waters were not complete or ac- 
curate, while many of the water analyses were faulty if not absolutely 
worthless. Second, the knowledge of the members of the medical pro- 
fession of the general principles of crounotherapy was exceedingly meagre, 
and American medical colleges showed no inclination to relieve the 
dearth of information. Third, only a small proportion of 'American 
springs had such facilities as v/ould assure comfortable residence and 
the best of treatment to the sick and afflicted. Fourth, the better class 
of medical men had not seen it to their advantage, to take up their resi- 
dence at the various springs, and very frequently the class of resident 
resort physicians was. such as to inspire little or no confidence either on 
the part of the patient or his family physician.

64 MINERAL CONTENT OF WATERS. [bull. no. 10 

During the past few years^ however^ the attitude of the American 
physician toward mineral water treatment has appreciably changed. 
American watering places have been developed and improved as never 
before known in the nation's history. Hotels, sanitaria and bathing es- 
tablishments, easily comparable with those of European spas, have been 
erected at a large number of the spring resorts. The more recent text- 
books on the practice of medicine and practical therapeutics, have de- 
A^oted more attention to crounotherapy than did any of the older works, 
while several important volumes/ devoted exclusively to mineral water 
and climatic treatment, have b^en brought forth in American editions. 
This altered attitude of our general medical literature and the increase 
in the special literature will better fit the physician to consider crouno- 
therapy sanely and intelligently. 

At the same time, a number of the most prominent of American phy- 
sicians have taken up their residence at the well known springs and the 
therapeutic possibilities, as well as the limitations of the waters are being 
determined, by accurate observation. The conscientious work of Peale 
has rendered the interpretation of mineral water analyses, from a thera- 
peutic standpoint, far more simple, while the United States Government, 
influenced, perhaps, by Peale and his associates of the United States 
Geological Survey, has assumed jurisdiction over several of the more im- 
portant watering places, preserving to the nation these wonderful natur- 
al resources and giving assurance of the highest degree of protection to 
the sufferer who may go to these springs for treatment. Parenthetically, 
it may be stated, that this government control of mineral springs — 
which is in accord with the European method — gives promise of becom- 
ing the strongest factor in doing away with the quackery and charlatanry 
of our American resorts and of establishing Ainerican springs upon a 
dignified and substantial basis. 

So obvious has been the growth of interest in the subject of our 
mineral springs, and so essential has it become that our medical pro- 
fession be placed in possession of the real facts in regard to the therapeu- 
tic value of their waters, that Dr. Joseph D. Bryant, President of the 
American Medical Association, laid special stress upon the matter in 
his presidential address, delivered at Atlantic City, in June, 1907.^ 
After referring at length to the necessity for honest and pure drugs — a 
matter of recognized vital importance to the profession — ^he said : 

"But little less important than the preceding (honest and pure drugs) in 
some respects, would be the careful, scientific consideration of the therapeutic 
value of the abundant springs of our country. There is much, indeed, of 
special significance regarding their popular use which might well be gar- 
nered and put on a sound basis. A scientific cooperation with those in charge 
of certain baths possessed of traditional specific value might readily guide to 
improved conditions of significant importance to all those who seek relief. 
A country as rich as ours in these spontaneous endowments, can well af- 
ford, in proper ways, to court the attention and support of the afflicted 
to the decided advantage of all concerned."

PALMER.] MEDICINAL SPEINGS. 65 

The unreasoning apathy and indifference of past years is changing 
to active and, serious interest and, as is usually the case, the interest is 
manifested first by those who stand highest, in the profession. The 
fact that the leaders in medicine — ^the writers of text books and the moul- 
ders of professional thought — are. awakening to the importance of min- 
eral water therapy, assures a period of active interest in the subject and 
that, in a not very distant future. 

On the eve of this awakening of interest, a consideration of the min- 
eral water resources of the State of Illinois is important and timely, 
especially since several of the mineral springs of the State have received 
recognition by writers of national reputation and in view of the fact 
that there are doubtless many v/aters fully as worthy of consideration. 
So far as I am aware, there has been no systematic attempt to collect the 
data on Illinois medicinal waters except that resulting in a report made 
before the Illinois State Medical Society,^ in 1903. In preparing that 
report, I was compelled to rely almost entirely upon material already 
published and upon the "literature" published by the few companies that 
had developed springs in the State. Acting upon a suggestion made by 
Dr. I. N. Danforth, in his discussion of my report, I have continued the 
collection of material on Illinois springs until, at the present time, 
although my records are exceedingly defective, I am in the position to 
say that we have within the State many waters of unquestionable thera- 
peutic value and the counterparts of many spas and springs which have 
gained wide repute. 

TiiE Mineral Springs of Illii^ois and Their Classification. 

Begiiming at the northern end of the State, we find, near Waukegan, 
in Lake county, the Glein Flora Spring, from which is obtained a water 
containing about 36.41 grains of mineral matter to the gallon (624 parts 
per million) — a water very similar in character to the waters of Wau- 
kesha, Wisconsin — a resort which is situated but a short distance north 
and west. This spring is classed by Peale and Hinsdale^ as belonging to 
the alkaline calcic-magnesic (or "earthy water'"') group, 33.22 of the 36 
grains of mineral matter being alkaline carbonates. 

At Libertyville, in Lake county, is a spring which has been known 
by several names during its rather varied history. At one time it was 
called the Purix Spring, and at that time, a number of prominent Chi- 
cago physicians expressed confidence in its therapeutic efficiency and 
organized a company for its sale. So far as we are able to ascertain, 
the water is alkaline-calcic in character, probably not unlike the waters of 
the low^er end of Wisconsin. 

In the southern part of Lake county, near the village of Deerfield, 
is the Deerlick Spring, producing a light alkaline-saline water, con- 
taining 45 grains of mineral matter to the gallon (772 parts per million) 
of which 26.61 grains (456 parts per million) is sodium sulphate — a 
water very similar to the Piedmont White Sulphur Springs, of Cali- 
fornia, Doxtatter^s mineral well, of N'ew York, and the Healing Springs,

of Virginia. Tiiis water has been utilized medicinally to a ver}^ large 
extent^ especially in Chicago, and has secured the approval of Drs. John 
B. Murphy, Joseph Zeisler, W. L. J^oble and other physicians of prom- 
inence. 

At Gary Station, in McHenry county, are the Abana Mineral Springs, 
which are not unlike the Salt Sulphur Springs, of West Virginia, and 
which are used commercially to a very considerable extent. The Abana 
mineral waters are saline-sulphated calcic-sodic-magnesic carbonated 
in character, having a total mineralization of 510.78 grains to the 
gallon, (8,740 parts per million), of which 410.13 grains (7,031 parts 
per million), are sulphates. 

In Cook county there are but two springs reported as being used 
medicinally, and of these little reliable information can .be obtained. 
The Sylvan Dell Sulpho-Magnesian Spring is situated just outside 
the corporate limits of Chicago, and just north of Oak Park, while the 
other, the Alcyone Spring, is located at Western Springs, where its 
waters are utilized by a sanitarium. 

Near the boundary between Kane and Kendall counties, are two 
springs of commercial importance^ — the Montgomery Magnesia and 
the Aurora Lithia Springs. The waters of both these springs have 
been sold extensively in Chicago. The Montgomery Magnesia Spring 
affords an alkaline so die water containing 38.92 grains of mineral 
matter to the gallon, (668 parts per million), of which a large part is 
made up of the carbonates of sodium. The water is very similar to that 
of the Bladen Springs of xA^labama. 

l^ear these springs, however, is another which gives considerable 
promise of therapeutic value. This is the Min-Ni-Yan Spring^ at Bris- 
tol, Kendall county — or, rather a group of springs of that name, giving 
forth Waaler having an average mineralization of 24.91 grains to the 
gallon, (427 parts per million), alkaline-saline calcic-magnesic alumino- 
chalybeate, the water percolating through a large deposit of peat or 
mud which may be utilized, in time to come, for the peat or mud baths 
which have been employed so successfully at Carlsbad, and, in our own 
country, at Mudlavia, Indiana, LasVegas, New IMexico and at the Byron 
Springs of California. 

A short distance from Elgin, in Kane county, is the Zonian" Spring^ 
similar in the character of its water to the All Healing Spring, of North 
Carolina — that is, an alkaline calcic-magnesic water, containing 15.69 
grains (269 parts per million) of mineral matter and 12.20 grains (209 
parts per million) of alkaline carbonates. 

It will be noted that all the foregoing springs, with the exception of 
Deer Lick, are light alkaline calcic-maonesic, similar in character and 
in therapeutic applicability to the well known waters of Waukesha, 
Min-Ni-Yan Spring having the additional feature of mud or peat 
deposits. 

At Ottawa, LaSalle county, we find a water which materially differs 
from those of northern Illinois, coming from the Sanicula Spring. 
This water contains 170.77 grains (2,928 parts per. million) of mineral 
matter to the gallon, 15.32 grains (263 parts per million) being alka- 
line carbonates and 139.64 grains (2,394 parts per million) of chlor-

ides. This is an alkaline-saliuo-calcic-sodie niiiriated water whicli is 
said to be of considerable tlierapentic vahie, and^ wliile mucli weaker in 
mineral salts, is of the same general type as the waters of Saratoga. 

In Eock Island county are three springs, which are said to have some 
local reputation, but of which little is really known. Thiese are the 
Illinois City Artesiax AY ell, at Illinois City; the Black Hawk 
Sprixg, at Eock Island, and the Eenna Wells, at Andalusia. • 

The water of the Aqua Vitae Spring, situated near Maquon, Knox 
county, has been classed by Peale as a sulphated acid water which i^ 
calcic-niagnesic alumino-chalybeate. This water contains 2.57 grains 
(4-i- parts per million) of free sulphuric acid, 55.38 grains (950 parts 
per million) of iron salts, and 223 grains (3,830 parts per million) of 
sulphates, with a total mineralization of 258.04 grains (4,481 parts per 
million. This is a type of water which is unknown in Europe, ^the analy- 
sis of no spa water showing the presence of free acid. Similar to it are 
the Texas Sour Wells, the Oak Orchard Springs of ^New York, the Iowa 
Acid Spring of Iowa and Gaylord and Culick's Mineral Spring of 
Pennsylvania. 

A rather remarkable sulphated iron water, containing 69 grains (1,183 
parts per million), of iron sulphate to the gallon, comes from the 
Schuyler County Spring, located in Schuyler count}' — a water not 
unlike that of the Aqua Yitae Spring above described, except that it 
contains no free sulphuric acid — and one which is quite similar to 
the European spas of Alexisbad, Mitterbad and Parad. 

Little is known of the Eed Avon Spring, situated at Avon, Fulton 
county. 

The Yersailles Springs, in Brown count}^, are very similar to the 
St. Moritz Spring of Switzerland, being calcic-magnesic alumino-chaly- 
beate, with a total mineralization of 192.93 grains, (3,308 parts per 
million), of which 22.42 grains, (385 parts per million), are iron salts 
and 167.82 grains, (2,877 parts per million) sulphates. The American 
analogues of this spring are the Austin Springs of Tennessee, the 
Cresson Alum Spring of Pennsylvania, and the Eldorado Park Spring 
of Missouri. 

The Perry Springs, of Pike county, at one time flourished as a 
summer resort with a hotel capable of accommodating 200 guests, which 
was crowded each season by visitors from Illinois and a number of sur- 
rounding states. One of the springs (No. 1), is alkaline calcic-magnesic 
in character, containing 38.24 grains (656 parts per million) of mineral 
matter of which 32.90 grains (564 parts per million) is made up otf 
alkaline carbonates. This water is almost identical with the waters of 
Waukesha, Wisconsin, not only in the character but also in the amounts 
of mineral salts. It is consequently, very much like the waters in 
northern Illinois, first referred to in this paper. In addition to this 
alkaline spring, there are also at Perry Springs, sulphuretted and ferru- 
ginous springs which have attained a local reputation. 

Information concerning the Carburetted Springs, near Decatur, 
Macon count}^, is so meagre that it is of no significance.

The Greexup or Cumberland Springs, at Greenup, Cumberland 
coimt}^, produce an alkaline-saline sodic water, containing 184.95 grains 
(3,171 parts per million) of mineral matter to the gallon, of which 
113.31 grains (1,943 parts per million) are chlorides and 75.95 grains 
1,302 parts per million) alkaline-carbonates. This water is quite sim- 
ilar to those of the Castalian, Glen Alpine and El Paso de Eobles 
Springs of Caliornia, although the latter are thermal waters. Greenup 
has been developed, to a slight extent, as a resort, and the water has 
been used commercially. 

In Madison count}^, near Grant Fork, is the Diamond Spring, men- 
tioned by Crook, but concerning which little seems to be known. 

The Sailor Springs, in Clay county (two in number) have been used 
for resort purposes and are now visited annually by large numbers of 
people. Crook states that the waters have a local reputation for the 
treatment of certain digestive and urinary disturbances, but there is no 
accurate information obtainable. 

The -American Carlsbad Springs, located at Nashville, ^Vashington 
county, are badly named, the similarity to Carlsbad being slight. Pealei^ 
however, has selected this water as the type of the American analogues 
of the water of Pullna, Bohemia, it being a saline sodic-magnesic water, 
containing 258.90 grains (4,439 parts per million) of mineral matter 
with 222.50 grains (3,814 parts per million) of sulphates (chiefly mag- 
nesium sulphate) to the gallon. 

At Mount Vernon, Jefferson county, are the Green Lawn Springs,. 
of which the Washington Spring, affording an alkaline calcic-chaly- 
beate water, is very similar to the -waters of Massanetta Springs, Vir- 
ginia, and the Stafford Mineral Springs of Mississippi. 

The TivoLi Spring, at Chester, Eandolph county, and the Western- 
Saratoga Spring, near Anna, Union county, are not developed and 
little is known concerning them. 

A mineral spring resort, which promises much for the future, ;is 
Creal Springs, in Williamson county. This resort is well improved, 
the Ozark hotel and bath houses offering good acconunodations, the sul- 
phated chalybeate waters being used extensively in treatment. 

The Dixon Springs, near Grantsburg, Pope county, afford a sul- 
phated chal3^beate water, reputed to be of considerable value. 

The Eoss Mineral Springs, of Saline county, are mentioned by 
Peale in his lists of sulphuretted springs. 

We find on reviewing the foregoing data, that we have in Illinois 
more or less valuable types of some of the most important classes of 
mineral waters. That the character of the individual waters may be the 
more easily appreciated, the following table has been arranged to show 
the classification of the principal Illinois medicinal waters, the quanti- 
ties of the salts contained in them and their American and European 
analogues, the data being given in grains per gallon and in parenthesis 
parts per million:

Therapeutics. 

It must be borne in mind that the mineral water analysis is not, in 
itself, enough to base oiir conclusions of mineral water application upon. 
The classification of a water, based upon the published analysis, is ex- 
ceedingly suggestive of its therapeutic applications, but our therapy is 
not well founded unless, in addition to the determination of the mineral 
salts contained in a water, we have some corroborative evidence in the 
form of clinical data. 

If all analyses were correct^ — as unfortunately, they are not — classifi- 
cation together with a thorough understanding of the therapeutic indi- 
cations of similar waters, would give us a sound working -basis. In the 
present state of our knowledge of mineral waters, we must bring to- 
gether all available evidence and, even then, our deductions may prove 
erroneous. 

The following observations on the clinical or therapeutic uses of Illi- 
nois medicinal waters are based upon: (1) the analysis; (2) the clin- 
ical data obtainable concerning each water; (3) the therapeutic re- 
sults obtained by using identical or similar waters. 

Taking up first, the alkaline so die waters, of which the Monteomerj 
Magnesia Spring is a type, and which depend for their activity upon 
the sodium carbonates in them, we find first that Monto-omery magnesia 

1 Denotes Illinois springs. 



PALMER.] MEDICINAL SPRINGS. 71 

water is already credited by eastern writers as being an excellent diur- 
etic, especially applicable in rheumatism and the gouty diathesis. Clin- 
ical evidence concerning Bladen Springs^, Alabama, which produces a 
'water with almost an identical analysis, indicates that this type of water 
is of value in chronic indigestion, functional disease of the kidneys, 
diabetes and catarrhal conditions of the urinary tract. Xisch and 
Hinsdale^ give, as the indications for a water of this type; gastric ca- 
tarrh, catarrhal conditions of the respiratory tract, catarrhal conditions 
of the urinary bladder and of the biliary passages and catarrhal jaun- 
dice. In recommending waters of this class for chronic gastritis, these 
writers suggest that the water should be taken warm and that, instead 
of the large quantities usually taken in " the morning, there should be 
small quantities at numerous times throughout the day. 

The alkaline calcic-mag nesic^ waters, of which there are several represen- 
tatives in Illinois, are best known therapeutically through the wide ex- 
perience with the waters of Waukesha, Wisconsin. These ^^earthy 
waters^^ are used in chronic cystitis, in nephritis, in tendency to form- 
ation of kidney or bladder stone, in bronchial catarrh with profuse 
secretions, in scrofula and rickets and in any of those conditions in 
which increased excretion is desired — in the so-called uric acid diathesis, 
gout, etc. In diabetes mellitus these waters have attained considerable 
reputation and there is not the slightest doubt but that their use is 
accompanied by good results. Wilcox, in his recent work on the treat- 
ment of disease, questions the advantage of the lighter mineral waters 
over any good drinking water, but he contends that the free use of 
water betweeu meals is of imnortance in the treatment. He adds, in- 
cidentally, that the patient will drink the bottled spring waters, or the 
waters at the springs, more regularly and more systematically than the 
water at home. This would seem to be an admission that, in his ex- 
perience, the diabetics using these waters have obtained better results 
than those not using them. Be this as it may, an exceedingly large 
number of competent physicians are satisfied that the calcic-magnesic 
carbonated waters are of distinct benefit to the diabetic and a prolonged 
residence at Waukesha inclines "me to concur in this belief. 

Of the alhaline-saline sodic-magnesic sulphated waters. Deer Lick is 
a type. Both in the use of this water and that of the Piedmont White 
Sulphur Springs of California — its American analogue — experience has 
taught that benefit may be expected in various - digestive disorders, in 
anemia (particularly of auto-toxemic origin), in rheumatism and in 
functional disorders of the liver and kidneys. The water is regarded as 
tonic, markedly diuretic and slightly aperient. 

The alhaline-saline chalhyheate sulvliated waters, of which there are 
several worthy of note within the State, have very broad therapeutic in- 
dications — their therapeutic activitv being due to the combination of 
the alkaline carbonates, the sulphates of magnesium and sodium and the 
iron salts. The more lightly mineralized waters of this group have been 
advocated in the treatment of stone of the kidney and, for many years 
it was erroneously contended that the beneficial effect was due to a direct 



1 SoUs-Cohen's System of Physiologic Therapeutics, Vol. IX. 



72 MINERAL CONTENT OF WATERS. [bull, no. 10 

solvent action upon the concretions. At the present time this view is 
not accepted. The benefit derived from the water comes from the 
marked diuretic action, from the flushing out of the kidneys preventing 
the formation of new concretions and expelling those of very small size. 

These waters are of distinct advantage in chronic hyperemia of the 
liver, due to sedentary life and habitual coi:stipation, especially when 
an anemic, toneless condition underlies the clinical manifestations. 
Kisch^ advises these waters in diarrhoea, especially when caused by "in- 
creased or qualitatively altered secretioii of bile.^^ 

The waters of this class frequently contain very considerable quanti- 
ties of sulphuretted hydrogen gas — ^the so-called "sulphurous waters" — 
a class long recommended in the treatment of S3'philis. It is quite true 
that the internal use of the saline sulphurous waters, and the frequent 
sulphurous baths, increase the elimination of the mercurials, either by 
stimulating the activity of the skin, the gastro-intestinal tract and the 
kidneys, or, as suggested by Kisch — by forming certain definite chemical 
combinations with the mercurial salts. However, the idea that the sul- 
phurous waters are in any way specific in syphilis, or that, as formerly 
contended, they "render apparent latent syphilis and assure diagnosis," 
is entirely without foundation. In syphilis, the alkaline-saline or saline 
drinking cures, without sulphuretted hydrogen, will be found qu.ite as 
efi'ective as when- the sulphuretted waters are used. So far, these re- 
marks have been confined to the milder types of this group — of which 
Min-Ni-Yan is a type — a group which Hinsdale^^ believes may be relied 
upon for many of the beneficient results obtained from the waters of 
Franzenbad, Elster, Eohitsch and Bertrich. 

Turning to the stronger iron sulphated water.s — such as Versailles, 
Schuyler county, Creal and Dixon Springs, in Illinois — we find ample 
justification in the literature of Europe for the following conclusions: 
Such waters are tonic, and astringent and antiseptic or disinfectant to 
the digestive tract. In chronic diarrhoea and in chronic malarial 
cachexia they have been found of value, while certain observers feel 
justified in strongly recommending them in the after-treatment of gas- 
tric ulcer, particularly where there have been extensive and exhausting 
hemorrhages. In anemia — especially when due to conditions of auto- 
intoxication — these waters in small quantities internally, and used as 
baths, have been found of value, w^hile in the scrofulous conditions as- 
sociated with anemia,. the results are especially gratifying. Kisch^ 
speaks highly of the sulphated chalybeate waters foi^ scrofulous girls at 
puberty "who do not exhibit erethistic conditions of the. vascular system." 

Another group of cases in which these waters have been used by cer- 
tain European clinicians is that in which sexual neurasthenia prevails 
in the clinical picture, with impotence, pollutions and similar pheno- 
mena. In such cases, the baths have a nerve invigorating effect. Used 
internally, the waters should be taken i-n small quantity, that the bladder 
may not be overdistended, and they should be freed from their gases, 
to prevent undue irritation of the urinary tract.

MEDICINAL SPRINGS. 73 



In anemia, associated Avitli fatty heart, in the anemia following ex- 
hausting disease and in chlorosis, these waters have been frequently 
recommended, while the iron sulphate baths have been found beneficial 
in the nervous disorders of the heart. Some writers have claimed their 
use to be beneficial in exophthalmic goitre, especially when the springs 
have been so located as to offer advantages of favorable climate. 

The alkaline-saline muriated waters of which there are two of con- 
siderable promise in Illinois, have long been recognized as therapeuti- 
cally valuable by European observers. Perhaps the largest amount of 
clinical data has been collected in Ems, but at Saratoga Springs, in our 
own country, practical experience with this class of waters has been ex- 
tensive. Used in the form of baths, this Avater has been of value in 
chronic muscular and articular rheumatism. In the drinking cures it 
has been employed in the treatment of chronic passive stasis, such as oc- 
curs in heart disease, pulmonary emphysema, general obesity and in 
drimkards, in blennorrhea of the urethra, in irritation from urinary 
calculi and in those conditions which bring about vesical hemorrhoids. 
Europeans favor the use of these waters in chronic enlargement of the 
spleen especially when due to syphilis, mercurial cachexia, scrofula or 
rickets. 

While there is little or no clinical evidence bearing upon the subject 
in this country, several competent foreign observers, report good results 
from these waters in amyloid degeneration of the liver. 

In catarrhal jaundice, where no profound changes have taken place 
the alkaline-saline-muriated waters may be employed at home with 
benefit; but, in the advanced cases, a sojourn at the springs is indicated. 

In the chronic diarrhea of the emaciated and enfeebled, these waters 
have been employed with great benefit, especially in the presence of 
intestinal catarrh, but in such cases the water should be used judiciously 
and only small doses employed. 

At Ems — which is a most important European source of this class 
of water — the results in the treatment of gastric catarrh, with hyper- 
chlorhydria, flatulence and cardialgia have been most gratifying, as they 
have been in those cases of suspicious bronchial catarrh, where tuber- 
culosis is suspected, but where the bacilli have not been demonstrated. 

In gout, benefit is obtained by the internal use of these waters in 
combination with baths, through the counteracting of the underlying 
derangement of metabolism, the stimulation of elimination and the local 
symptomatic relief of joints, muscles and tendons. 

Conditions of the urine, with uric acid sediment of moderate amount, 
yield readily to the proper use of these waters. 

The American Carlsbad and the Abana Springs represent the saline 
sulphated or ^^itter water" groiip of springs. Waters of this class de- 
pend clliefly for their activity upon the magnesium sulphate and sodium 
sulphate they contain. It is the purgative property of the former salt, 
with its stimulating effect upon the secretions of the intestinal canal, 
its influence in liquefying fecal matter and its pronounced stimulating 
effect upon the mucous membranes that reteiders it most effective. It 
must be borne in mind, however, that the stronger ^'bitter waters" must 
be used in very small quantities and that their use must not extend over 



74 MINEEAL CONTENT OF WATERS. [bull. NO. 10 

a great length of time, else, in the o]3inion of many observers there 
will occur a reduction in the alubuminous constitutents of the body 
and impairment of the blood formation, while mild and severe degrees 
of gastric or intestinal catarrh may result. The Illinois waters of this 
type may be relied upon for satisfactory results, but, on account of the 
comparatively small quantities of salts contained in them, they may be 
taken with less concern, as to these unpleasant features. 

No class of mineral waters has been used more extensively by both the 
medical profession and the people than this,, and abundant clinical evi- 
dence supports the use of the waters in the following conditions: For 
the production of free catharsis; in small, repeated doses to overcome 
fecal impaction, to stimulate the elimination of waste products of bodily 
metabolism, in pleural and other serous effusions, enteritis and peri- 
tonitis to keep the bowels open, in the peculiar diarrhea due to im- 
pacted masses of feces in the colon, in acute febrile conditions and in 
atonic states, in the latter case, being used in association with a good 
ferruginous tonic. In chlorosis and anemia, dependent upon fecal im- 
paction, this water is of especial value. 

In disease of the kidneys, with general anasarca or ascites, such waters 
are of value, but should not be pushed to the extent of causing violent 
catharsis, inasmuch as profuse watery stools decrease the diuretic effect. 

When we appreciate the great frequency of constipation and of faulty 
elimination, especially among those of sedentary life and liberal dietary 
habit, w^e find a logical reason for the beneficial effects in the use of the 
saline sulphated waters, even when employed in the absence of intelli- 
gent medical advice or supervision. The conditions dependent upon 
failure to eliminate waste products constitute a group of cases as ill- 
defined as it is broad, and it is unquestionably true that there is, in con- 
nection with well-defined pathologic states, frequently an element of 
auto-intoxication which, if eliminated, would render the original con- 
dition far more amenable to treatment. 

European literature contains no reference to the sulphated acid 
waters and, on that account, the American waters of that class have 
been generally neglected in the past. Hinsdale^ calls attention to these 
waters and to the fact that none of this type is to be found in Europe, 
but he says nothing of their therapeutic uses. Crook,^ in describing 
w^aters of this class, states that they are used clinically and with con- 
siderable success as a tonic, alterative and astringent. Locally the 
waters are employed in conjunctivitis, pharyngitis and in leucorrhea. 
They have also been used in dyspepsia and intestinal disorders. 

As previously stated, there is at least one deposit of mud within the 
State, through which mineral waters have percolated for many years, and 
mud of such character as to be readilv utilized for mud baths. Such 
baths, properly applied, are extremely useful in relieving inflam- 
matory diseases of the joints," various paralyses and neuralgia. The hot 
mud packs increase the activity of the skin, adding materially to the 
general process of elimination.

PALMER.] MEDICINAL SPRINGS. 75 

In presenting these notes on the medicinal waters of Illinois and their 
indications in the treatment of disease^ I desire to lay special stress 
upon one or two general considerations. First, it is not the belief of 
an}^ physician who has intelligently studied mineral water therapy that 
cronnotherapy will ever take the place of the rational rise of drngs. It 
will never be more than a branch of general therapy. At the same time, 
however, we believe that this will constitute an important branch which 
will render our general methods of treatment far more effective. 

In the address delivered by Dr. Bryant before the American Medical 
Association, quoted in an earlier part of this paper, attention is called 
to the significance of the extensive popular use of mineral waters and the 
necessity for prompt action in putting the subject on a sound basis. 
This can only be done by the members of the medical profession, and a 
certain amount of the labor will fall, not upon those who are specializ- 
ing in this field and collecting data for general use, but upon the 
physicians residing in the vicinity of the individual springs. 

We have pointed out that, in Illinois, we have types of the most im- 
portant mineral springs. So far as comparison of analyses can take 
us, these waters are capable of employment in the treatment of a wide 
range of diseases. Clinical observation and intelligent clinical observa- 
tion will be necessary to substantiate our hypotheses and deductions. 
It now remains for the medical men of Illinois to do their part and, 
if this part is done conscientiously and well, there is every reason to be- 
lieve that, in the spa treatment of disease, which is destined to greater 
popularity in America, we shall not have to go beyond the boundaries 
of our own State for the proper resort treatment of our sick and afflicted.
